The rationale is interesting. I'm glad they kept the logo as it's recycling ♻️

Hey, that's pretty neat! It looks like the name is based off a rock structure in Italy, representing stability :D

It's also nice that it's easier to pronounce for non-native English speakers (or as a matter of fact, non-English speakers!)

The new .eco URL is also interesting, from what I can tell it's operated by a Canadian company called "Big Room", and to register, you need to pledge that you will support positive change for the planet and you need to be transparent about your actions that could affect the environment.

We've already seem sites with the .org TLD get struck down by the U.S. government (e.g. Autistici/Inventati getting sanctioned as a "global terrorist organisation" for providing email and blog hosting services to "far-left antifascist terrorists"), so moving away from that is probably a good thing.

I don't like the green washing domain costing 60 euros a year (+60 euros registration!) when it cost them cents... This is 101 gatekeeping internet in general, but I guess it OK for them to spent that amount of money to help closing the internet to small people with not that deep of money.

And this is not coming from a hater, I participated to PostMarketOS (as dev), I like the project and want to see the project growing, but I can't stand the current "slipping into fascism" trajectory of western societies. Giving corporation full control and removing everything that made the internet neutrality (you can't own a domain unless you have quiet the money now, don't event get me started on e-mail or IPv6). Green washing is not going to help.

green washing

From the blog post:

The .eco domain has strong policies which prevent abuse of the domain for greenwashing,

[–] Kajika@lemmy.ml 0 points 1 week ago

The price already screams "green washing", let's see the policies:

1- Take a simple pledge to show your commitment to environmental action.

2 - Affirm your eligibility by sharing your eco actions and commitments.

Yep! confirmed green washing.
