    Nice, but the only comment I see about Lemmy, is someone who can’t comprehend that the domain “lemmy.world” exists and not “lemmy.com”, because “that’s what an internet address is to the average user”.

      Sadly what he says is true to many.

      I’ve seen people who were directed to p.lemmy.world call it a dodgy virus link.

      And honestly it does look dodgy, lemmy.com would be great.

        This only makes the problem worse. We need to expose people to other TLDs and subdomains so they can see for themselves how expansive and adaptable the internet really is.

      God yeah, what a frustrating sentiment to see. Very common among people who won’t give the fediverse any modicum of good faith engagement. “This is different from what people are used to and is therefore bad” instead of understanding that maybe there’s a reason it’s built that way.
