A great deal of stuff depends on the imperiled .io top-level domain in order to exist. Stuff such as itch.io

The .IO drama is just the latest in a long line of reasons why I stopped using ccTLDs. Domain hacks are fun, and I used to have a few, but ccTLDs are always playing with fire. Read why I think boring old .COM is still king: https://b10g.xyz/blog/2024/cctlds-are-risky-business/

⚠️ .io domain¹ likely being phased-out² — seven suggested steps

Good article in The Verge summarizing recent .io related events, see that for more context if this is news to you:
* https://www.theverge.com/2024/10/8/24265441/uk-treaty-end-io-domain-chagos-islands

It looks likely .io (and .io domains) will go away in the next few years (as .cs and .yu did³), so here are my suggested steps to take depending on your usage of .io domains:

1. Avoid buying new .io domains (or making plans with existing ones; sell if you can)
2. If you currently run a .io service⁴ (for a company or community), make and publicize a transition plan (like a new domain, redirection, orderly shutdown plan for redirects)
3. If you have a personal site on a .io domain⁵ or subdomain, make your own transition plan, and perhaps post about how others should link to your posts
4. If you are using someone else’s .io domain to publish (like #GitHubPages⁶), make a transition plan to publish elsewhere and leave a forwarding note and link behind
5. If you use a .io domain as your Web sign-in login on any sites, switch them to another non-io personal domain
6. Similarly if your site accepts #WebSignIn logins (via #IndieAuth, #RelMeAuth, or even #OpenID), consider discouraging any new sign-ups from .io domains, and warning any existing users with .io domains to switch per # 5
7. If you have posts (or a whole #indieweb site) with links to .io sites or pages (like those in 2-4 above), make a plan for editing those links to point to an alternative or an archival copy (like on the Internet Archive)

And of course, post about your #dotIO plans.

I was always weary of using the IO TLD because it was a ccTLD of a random island, but surely someone will just pick up the IO TLD commercially now that it's becoming not-a-ccTLD, no?

It's not like we're actually going to just *let it get deprecated*?

Q: Qui bono?
A: The Western colonials who have registered .io domains for their various Western whims.

There’s no moral reason to consider their interests. They’re casual unthinking bad actors in this case. Like all those sad white folks in Kenya, Tanzania, and Zimbabwe (nee Rhodesia) still whining about losing the lands stolen by their grandparents. Registrants of .io domains don't even have an excuse of being born into trespass.
