I’ve heard a decent argument why it should be avoided, and I’m curious to know to what degree. I understand avoiding .zip links, but should I go as far as to avoid .zip communities too? Where does this thinking become genuine paranoia?

    yeah id say so, tech literacy is bad as is. Adding to the scams is the last thing we need.

    However it’s like any other .com just with a more customizable name, like http://files.catbox.moe/ fits because the site is decorated with anime drawings (moe definition).
    for a techy website .zip is fine, as long as they’re not using it as an attempt to scam.

    lemmy.zip is perfectly a-ok in my eyes
