With several Lemmy instances using the .ml TLD I’ve seen people mention others being risky as well. Which should be avoided?

A big one is the .nu domain, which is extremely popular in Sweden (since “nu” means “now” in Swedish).
It’s currently controlled by the same large non-profit that controls .se (Internet Foundation in Sweden, IIS), but Niue has been wanting control of it for decades. It’s a complicated issue since .nu addresses have become incredibly important to Swedish Internet infrastructure.
Litigation was launched in 2020 but I’m not aware of any news since then.

Niue is a small Polynesian island country north-east of New Zeeland. It’s who the domain was originally assigned to.
