minus-squareteolan@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up18·2 years ago .edu Education (MURICA) .edu is not only american. For example I know many schools in France have .edu domains and emails, and I believe it’s the case in many more countries.
minus-squareyetAnotherUser@feddit.delinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up16·2 years agoIn 2001 it was limited to US educational institutions only, all registrations prior were grandfathered in. Although I haven’t got a clue why my non-US university, founded in 2009, has a .edu domain.
minus-squareteolan@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up7·2 years agoI did not know that. That’s not cool
minus-squarelivus@kbin.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up6·2 years agoPretty sure most countries use .ac for universities. Ac.uk, ac.au, ac.nz are all standard.
minus-squareBill Stickers@aussie.zonelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·edit-22 years agoAustralia doesn’t. We’re all .edu.au Edit: here is the list of who uses it. Stands for academia if it wasn’t self evident to anyone else either. 2nd edit: having trouble with escaping characters in the link so it’s defaulting to the ac page when it should be https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.ac_(second-level_domain)
minus-squarelivus@kbin.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up1·2 years agoSorry, remembered wrong. Stands to reason, you guys like .com.au instead of .co.wherever as well.
