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

Basically 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.

Just 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

I can see why anal ink could be controversial.

As the admin of lemmy.inbutts.lol I would have thought my position on that subject would be clear.

You could also choose a 5-10 digit .xyz domain, those cost $€0.85

The first year. Then it’s likely $12/year.

No, everything with the specified format is $0.99.

Don’t be too sad, it wouldn’t work well with reverse-DNS notation anyway. ;)
