Every country gets to decide how tight of a grip they have on their TLD. Some sell it for some extra income (like Tuvalu) while others hang onto it for government or domestic use only
Yeah, and I’d say going with any of the ones that sell it or leave it free is a risk because you never know when their regime might change and the new one might want more of an official internet presence. Unless there’s a 2nd level domain it’s all under (like co.uk), you should assume they’ll want it back at some point. This could apply more to popular domains that some governments could see as free traffic if they reclaim them.

Guess I should be worried about Lemmy.ca
They’ll be fine as long as they keep up with their maple syrup or poutine tribute.
