Thoughts on the use of geographic domains for vanity purposes? I know that's come up recently as a topic of concern (including with lemmy, specifically), and personally, it seems like it's both extremely widespread and also maybe shouldn't have become super widespread given the actual implications.
I've talked about this elsewhere, but the whole DNS system seems US-controlled and broken to me, and is essentially a privatization of the commons. A lot of historically free ones now seem to be getting yanked. So far I think lemmy.ml has been safe because its a paid one, but its a concern. Either way, if any of these have to move domain names, it'll be an annoying hassle, but it won't mean the death of lemmy or anything.
