After all, don't many platforms (or heck, browsers) render .zip URLs nonfunctional due to security concerns? Meaning our community.lemmy.zip links may not automatically hyperlink when we want them to, or it may trigger security risk popups. Whoops. Feel free to correct me.

I hope you're right! Question, is the "higher levels of mandatory security" due to .zip being a newer domain or due to it coinciding with a widely used file extension? Or both?

Its something that is happening with a lot of newer TLDs. Theres a bit more info in the first paragraph here which relates to .app domain, but is the same thing.

Edit: even better info here
