.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.

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.

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.

I only browse by subscribed because I don't subscribe to communities with "memes" and "shitposts", if a community has too many of them I unsubscribe to them.

For me (UK):

zsh = zed ess aitch

sudo - exactly the same as "pseudo"

ssh = ess ess aitch

I'm not alone in this, it's only what all of my colleagues say.

A screenshot I took for whatever reason in 2006, it's quite a relic.

Can you save it DRM-free? That's all I ask for.

Sure, I pretty much use the method explained here for weekly backups: https://fedoramagazine.org/btrfs-snapshots-backup-incremental/

Btrfs for everything these days, subvolume snapshots have been game-changing for me for doing backups.

there are communities suffering from mass and badly controlled migration

Communities are suffering from 14 years of misgovernment, that's what people should be angry at, blaming migration hands the tories a massive free pass.

Reddit would surely have to ban users from creating new subreddits for certain (previously allowed) topics, or else users would just create an alternative "free" subreddit and everyone would post there, right? This can't work like something like YouTube Premium originals or else they're going to have to pay certain popular people to post to the paywalled subs - but nobody uses Reddit to follow individuals.
