As someone who de-googled about 5 years ago by buying a nice three letter .io address this hits right in the feels.

I could go through the process again (not fun) with some ridiculously long .com/.net or other OG tld which are probably somewhat more resistant to rent seeking practices like this or I just suck it up and hope it remains pricey but not egregious.

Are there any truly "community-owned" TLDs for the tech community? Would such a thing be possible and/or useful?

For Canadians, .ca seems a generally well behaved and managed TLD under community control.

EDIT: .ca is not particularly tech community related, but that doesn’t matter to me.
