Not sure if this topic fits in this community but recently my account on a lemmy instance with a .ml extension (lemmy.fmhy.ml) was rendered inaccessible.
While the instance works to a degree (I can set a dns overide to gain acess) due to the broken domain it effectivly renders my account (and the instance lost due to federation).
While bookworm is fine I worry about other instances like lemmy.ml which has the same domain prefix and hosts many communities.

Another reason why .com, .org or .(European country) is better. Especially .org or .online or .world are perfect for lemmy instances. Why use a domain from an African country?
Because ml stands for Marxist Leninist
