Why do Lemmy instances have such obscure TLDs?

konalt@lemmy.world to No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world – 86 points –

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?

I was just looking for a funny name and came up with waste-of.space

It is 3x more expensive than a .be (my countries TLD) but I like it.

You'd have to come up with a pun that's ends in be to change, and that's just not OK :D
