With several Lemmy instances using the .ml TLD I’ve seen people mention others being risky as well. Which should be avoided?
minus-squareshnizmuffin@lemmy.inbutts.lollinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up6·1 year agoBasically any 2-letter TLD should be avoided unless you live in that country. If you want to be clever, use subdomains and pick one of the new TLDs. For instance, ban.anal.ink, is like $5.
minus-squarerigatti@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·1 year agoI can see why anal ink could be controversial.

minus-squaree569668@fedia.iolinkfedilinkarrow-up1·1 year agoJust to add another concrete example, I saw a toot recently that .af may be risky, as some countries are beginning to implement embargoes; the person who had a domain there may be losing it soon

Banana link or ban anal ink?
