Sorry but your posts are FUD. You’re trying to equate people misusing tlds (which happens across many other tlds) as somehow lemmy.zip is “bad” instance that should be avoided.

Not only is that not true, you are also purposely misunderstanding how federation works as if youre somehow safer not interacting with lemmy.zip. Again, not remotely true.

If you want to block .zip TLDs you go for it, no one is stopping you, but you may as well block .com TLDs while you’re at it as that’s where most scams take place.
