There are situations where a url with .zip at the end could download a zip file with the newest edition of some popular free game. A very similar looking url could also end with .zip, download a similarly looking zip file, with very different actions when the software is launched.
Not op, but still curious… what is wrong with .zip domains?

So is the concern (for lemmy.zip) that .zip domains might go away, due to the potential for abuse?
