For me, it may be that the toilet paper roll needs to have the open end away from the wall. I don’t want to reach under the roll to take a piece! That’s ludicrous!

That or my recent addiction to correcting people when they use “less” when they should use “fewer”

    People should respect the intent of top level domains. e.g. videos at youtu.be should be related to Belgium, and podcasts with a .fm domain should only be podcasts related to the Federated States of Micronesia. Users at lemm.ee should be from Estonia.

        Still I’d ideally like .com addresses to be reserved for commercial entities and, while we’re here, US-specific sites to more widely use .us. Just to acknowledge I know this is a very pedantic hill.

          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.

                Not true, .org was supposed to be for non-profit organisations, with .gov and .com for other government and commercial entities.
