@manton At least Cloudflare's Matthew Prince kind-of-agrees that their huge marketshare is a problem.https://www.nytimes.com/2019/08/05/technology/8chan-cloudflare-el-paso.htmlMullenweg doesn't seem to recognize the problem at all.

@jlelse @manton No single organization — including Google, WordPress, AWS, or anyone else — should have 30% marketshare for the phrase "the open web" to retain any meaning.

@jlelse @manton We both rent .blog domains, owned and operated by Automattic subsidiary Knock Knock Whois There. It gets harder and harder to avoid giving them your money even when you try to avoid using their products and services. They've all gotten too engrained into too many aspects of the web. #break'em'up

@da I thought a TLD can only be created by registries? You’re saying Automattic owns the registry that owns .blog?Wow, every days a school day! Thanks for sharing.@jlelse @manton

@kev @jlelse @manton Google owns .google, .app, .dev, among others. Amazon, incredibly, owns .amazon and Microsoft has .office. Check out the full list.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Internet_top-level_domains
