What I don’t understand is how .people doesn’t fulfill this need already. And where else is there a group that caters to “like-minded” people? There are groups that cater to common interests, but I wouldn’t call that “like-minded”. Will there then be a need for .people.glbt.trains, .people.glbt.space, etc?

The whole thing doesn’t make sense to me.
