This is one of the problems with using country TLDs. They look cute, but when you buy it, you may not realize who controls it. Lemm.ee is similarly in a precarious position.

I really wish we could all agree to stop using country TLDs for this

You have to be careful with any TLD. People outside the US have found themselves subject to US law because they had a US controlled domain name.

Some ccTLDs are fine, some are not, but you have to think carefully when you buy it.

Who owns or controls .world domains?

I think .ee and .ca are fine. lemmy.ca is for Canadians specifically

  For .ca specifically: as long as you are a Canadian individual, or have a sufficient connection to Canada, or a Corp with a trademark registered in Canada then you are qualified to own that domain - but as to who is really checking I have no idea… CIRA complainants maybe?
