Which TLDs are too risky for hosting? (lemm.ee)

With several Lemmy instances using the .ml TLD I’ve seen people mention others being risky as well. Which should be avoided?

Some TLDs that aren't country codes but also aren't very useful or popular will sometimes be blanket blocked by institutions, on the theory that there's so many more garbage malware C&Cs or whatever than actual useful sites that it makes sense to ban the whole thing. So you might not want to go with .bingo or .rest or anything with no perceivable use.

Like zip or mov. Don't buy those. Any smart person and corporation already has those blanket banned.

Can I interest you in my new Lemmy instance, blanket-banned.zip?

Sure! What's the name? Your comment cut off after "instance".
