Right, ok, so the problem with having a debate on this subject is that there's no reason for this risk to exist at all. There's no good reason to have a .zip TLD, there was no need for it, it should not have been created and no one should use it.

If you're weighing pros and cons, there are exactly 0 pros. Therefore no matter how minor you think the cons are, they outweigh 0 pros by 100%.

Also, "nothing bad has happened yet" is not a valid argument and is a terrible basis for making risk decisions.

I see your perspective, but is there any similar instance that is not Lemmy.zip?

From another post

Lemmy.world is too big  

sh.itjust.works names contains "shit", which can deter users  

lemmy.ca is Canadian-centric  

feddit.org, is German-centric, but technically English speaking too  

dbzer0 is topic focused  

programming.dev is topic-centric  

blahaj is queer-focused  

discuss.tchncs.de has a difficult name  

lemmy.sdf.org does not defederate anyone  

beehaw defederates LW and SJW  

infosec.pub is topic-centric  

aussie.zone is country-centric  

midwest.social is region-centric

'This bridge is literally held together with duct tape, but it hasn't killed anyone yet!'

I'm with you, unecessary risk. Thank you for the explanations.
