Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either [email protected] or [email protected].
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email [email protected]. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

I despise the current system where ICANN lets you slap anything you want on the end of your domain. It means it’s easier to fake a company landing page and it’s a cash grab from an organization that’s supposed to be a non profit. The original domain hierarchy created easily recognizable structure where now it’s just anarchy.
Medicare.com (and their tv commercials) was a good example of misleading people. Some cities and states are using .com sites when they should be using .gov.
The only new TLDs I find useful are .blog and .tv (for streaming sites, not Transylvania). And not many sites are using those.
.TV is not new. It is a country-code TLD (ccTLD) and has been around since the 20th century.
