With several Lemmy instances using the .ml TLD I’ve seen people mention others being risky as well. Which should be avoided?

Basically any 2-letter TLD should be avoided unless you live in that country.
If you want to be clever, use subdomains and pick one of the new TLDs. For instance, ban.anal.ink, is like $5.
You could also choose a 5-10 digit .xyz domain, those cost ~~$~~€0.85
Except for the only one I’d want:
…Why?
abc.defghijklmnopqrstuvw.xyz
Can’t you do abcd.efghijklmnopqrstuvw.xyz?
Sure, but not symetric
How about zyx.wvutsrqponmlkjihgf.edcba.abcde.fghijklmnopqrstuvw.xyz
Very catchy
Don’t be too sad, it wouldn’t work well with reverse-DNS notation anyway. ;)
The first year. Then it’s likely $12/year.
No, everything with the specified format is $0.99.

Just to add another concrete example, I saw a toot recently that
.af
may be risky, as some countries are beginning to implement embargoes; the person who had a domain there may be losing it soonBanana link or ban anal ink?
I can see why anal ink could be controversial.
Banal link
As the admin of lemmy.inbutts.lol I would have thought my position on that subject would be clear.
