Should a random assortment website without a specific country focus use something like .net or .world or do you have any better ideas, .world should probably be reserved for websites with world related stuff.
I'm genuinely interested in hearing your thoughts on this and similar. I find your hill very intresting.
.org was always intended for miscellaneous sites that don't fit anywhere else, I think that's the most appropriate. I mainly remember this from back in "the day" but here's a source I've just found to back me up: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc1591
I'm not a big fan of the "new" generic TLDs like .world, they're not part of my hill, I don't really care what they're used for but I think we could do without them. Most Lemmy instances should really be .org in my ideal scheme of things.
Intresting I didn't know that about .org
Also very intresting document you found thank you for sharing.
Not true, .org was supposed to be for non-profit organisations, with .gov and .com for other government and commercial entities.
