      It kinda varies for me.

      .ee gets referenced less for sure. The folks I know that have used lemmy longest will do the dot ee, or double-e. Noobs tend to fumble with it, as in “lemmy with two ees at the end” and eventually go with whatever they’ve heard spoken most.

      But .ml always gets the . I believe that’s because there’s no shorthand for it verbally. Mull? Mill? Mall? Too many options for most folks to bother trying.

        No not always. Just as “.world” I usually see called rather LW, so too ML works. And yours would be SJW:-). Maybe that’s mostly my conversations with Blaze but I’ve definitely seen LW used elsewhere, though I can’t recall ever seeing someone saying .world. Perhaps I simply wasn’t paying proper attention:-).

          Yes, always irl for me which I had stated previously.

          I’m talking about humans in meat space saying the dot out loud. Because that’s what the comment I was responding to seemed to be about.

            Oh okay, so not that they say “dot world” when referring to lemmy.world (bc almost nobody talks about Lemmy irl from what I can see:-), but in the general sense they say whatever comes after the dot out loud, I get you now (I think):-).
