1 0 ReplyIt would be weird if it did because .d means directory
1 0 ReplyWhen does .d mean directory?

1 0 ReplyBut TLDs are not “UNIX”
1 0 ReplyI never said they were. I just said .d means directory in another context
1 0 ReplyWell, a .com is a CP/M binary file introduced in ~1975, whereas the TLD wasn’t introduced until 1985. So, put that in your pipe and smoke it. 😝
1 0 ReplyYeah that's weird too. So would a TLD of .txt or .doc or can you imagine a TLD of .html?
They're all weird just to various degrees.
Why would you want .d as a TLD? To me it would just be weird and confusing.

Why are they limiting us? Seems like ICANN has an unfair position.
Someone should start a competing dns that allows domain registrations with single letter domains.
That’s kind of how .onion works (for dns)
