I’m looking for a new instance since lemm.ee is closing by the end of the month. What’s a good instance to be on these days?

I’m looking for a instance with the fewest trolls, bots, and anyone that likes to take things to the extremes.

    If you saw ChromeUpdate202506.zip, then what do you believe it is? A downloadable update for Chrome or a website?

    What if a malicious person has purchased that domain and filled the website with something malicious, a virus, an info stealer, etc?

    I block the .zip TLD because the domains can be used maliciously. Within the first few days there were hundreds/thousands of domains registered with names to look like zip files for updating software and the like.

    I also block the .mov TLD for the exact same reason.

    Sure on a good day you can spot the malicious intent from a mile away, but I like to protect for when I’m having a bad day. I also block the TLDs for the whole family as well because unfortunately they’re not as tech savvy or meticulous.

      could just let only lemmy.zip and piefed.zip through and avoid the issues still
