FYI, two letter TLDs are country/region/jurisdiction specific. There's an ISO standard for that.

.tv Tuvalu
.me Montenegro
.fm (Federation of) Micronesia

Some countries append additional modifiers to classify their uses:

.uk United Kingdom
.co.uk Company
...

Three or more are generic (traditional or new)

.com, .net, .org, ...

In some cases, Uncle Sam said "first!" and it stuck.

.edu Education (MURICA)
.mil Military (MURRICA)
.gov Government (MURRRICA)

Just like what happens with Mali, what some silicon valley hipsters decide as a 'fun' acronym is just that, a fun thought. If the corresponding government decides to take away a specific domain, they probably can.

Thanks for the clarification. If this instance goes down please someone start an ''lemmy.ai'' instance. I want to follow the same logic that I went with since the beginning.
