Even gTLDs aren't entirely safe. .dev is iffy right now because only Google can give those out and Google domains is going away.

Google domains is going away

What the hell, how am I just hearing about this now?

[–] ratman150@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah I wasn't thrilled when I heard the news. I have one maybe two domains with Google and I'm going to be shipped off to somw third party for my renewal. I haven't checked but I'm pretty sure the domain business is being sold to one of those "build your website with us in half an hour" companies and I just cannot wait for the go-daddy like service...which I left go-daddy because of.

They didn't even tell domain holders.

.dev was stupid from the beginning due to how many local domains like that...

Alright https://lemmy.zip it is!

Edit: No way someone already did it

Zip is the dumbest TLD of all. It is a phishers dream come true. invoice.zip explains it.
