Had one of the worst experiences with Linkedin support about my account seemingly getting flagged that I wrote an whole article about it (https://smileplease.mataroa.blog/blog/linkedin/)

This is a good project but I genuinely feel like we might need better alternatives than Linkedin. Linkedin is nightmare (recently their spying on browser extensions etc. also raises some concerns)

I am Indian. Do you feel as if the .in domain Indian registrar is hard to work with as in asking for an Indian citizen to own the domain?

When I was going to register it with Porkbun, it showed this warning:

> This TLD has very strict verifiable contact requirements. You MUST use verifiable contact information or your domain may be suspended and / or deleted without warning by the registry and without refund. The registry is also extremely difficult to contact and communicate with, it's possible that you will be asked to rectify your unverifiable contact info and do so but then they will ignore you. Yes, it is pure insanity and bad enough that we took the time to add this very special warning.

> This TLD does not allow WHOIS privacy but generally redacts your personal information. This means that your personal contact information will be sent to the registry but it should not be made public. Please note that some registries will make your contact information public if you are registering as a company, organization, or something other than an individual person.

I made this as a set it and forget it site, so I didn't want to deal with any hassle that might come up. Have you registered .in domains and experienced anything like this?

No, sorry I haven't dealt with .in domains but it does seem as an Indian, I have easier way to get them / get myself verified with digi-locker etc.

I don't really understand this portion being honest, like, if as an individual I try to get a .in domain, will it just be the govt of India (NIXI) who sees my ID and personal details or would it also be shown in the whois details.

I will be honest that these sound quite an hassle even as Indian resident. Personally most of my dealings in domains are done on a more privacy friendly way so I am not sure how I feel about this but let me know if there is anything I can be of help because I dislike Linkedin as much as you might do, haha.
