> So, like .com domains?

It might just be me, but I actually do have a slight negative feeling toward .com domains. For me, the ranking is:

1) .edu

2) .org

3) .net; the regional TLD of the country the website is actually associated with (.fr, .de, …)

4) Domain hacks (.me for a personal site, …); Cutesy, unprofessional, generic TLDs like .space

5) .com; .gov; Tech startup-type stuff (.io, .app)

6) Weird TLDs with an advertising / commercial purpose (.flights, .financial, .ai, …)

7) Spammy TLDs like .ml, .xyz, .biz

>1) .edu

I still use my Ivy League alumni email address, and would never have made another (a .com) my primary address if I'd had access to the .edu address the whole time since graduation. Why would I not want to immediately communicate my affiliation to one and all without having to explicitly state it?
