.world has already become a shithole echo chamber. Good thing lemmy’s technology can not really let it take over the platform as a whole like it did with reddit.
I wanted to try out zip but unfortunately I think zip domains are blocked on my network since it fails to connect normally but does work through Tor or a VPN. I also tried connecting to other zip domains (not just the lemmy instance) and I got similar results. Would work on Tor or VPN but not on my main network.
At least I now have an account here though, which is probably good enough for now.
Already use an alternate DNS, though it seems like the zips are completely blocked at the network level. Even with Cloudflare or Google DNS they still don’t connect.
I actually do use cloudflare DNS I also did try switching to Google DNS (I know that that would certainly work since they own zips) but it still doesn’t connect even when using an alternate DNS.

I’ve been liking .zip so far.
I’d be scared to have an account in something with .zip domain. Could be that some big players start to block that domain (Google, isps).
Though I guess you just make a new account if shit hits the fan.
funny thing is afaik google is the one who’s registering .zip TLDs
or at least they were until they sold google domains to squarespace
Enjoying .zip myself.

Try using an alternative dns. Some isps DNS servers don’t know how to direct a .zip tld
One should always use a self hosted DNS, in my opinion… you can add the filter you need, and your isp does know a bit less about you 😉
