Somewhat unrelated, but blueskyweb.xyz is the ugliest domain name I've ever seen for a legitimate tech company. Feels like a spam domain.


My peer texted me his personal blog that is an xyz domain three separate times. Finally, he got frustrated and asked why I was ignoring his article he wrote that he was really proud of and was only responding to his other texts. It turns out T-Mobile blocks xyz domains outright over sms, which led to our awkward moment. We had a good laugh about it, but it made me realize that xyz domains are not reliable for even a personal blog (and also reaffirmed sms is a very poor medium for text communication).


It's blocked on most corporate VPNs as well .


The stench of "Web3" really ruined the .xyz TLD.
