Why do Lemmy instances have such obscure TLDs? - eviltoast

Whenever I come across a new lemmy instance, it most likely has some sort of obscure TLD (.world, .ml, .ee, .me, .social just to name a few). Why aren’t there more with more common TLDs?

    Cos its considered cool and people follow the herd.

    For techbros a while ago an .io domain was a thing because its sounds like i/o and projects an image you are tech literate.
