I’m considering getting a domain with a .place TLD. Will it cause any issues like emails being blocked or something? I searched and it doesn’t seem particularly notorious for spam or anything, but I wanted to find out if there are people who can tell me from experience.
Edit: This is not for running my own server - I have a provider, Disroot.

Thank you. That does sound annoying but .com is both boring and more expensive.
.com is $15/yr for most domains, .place is $22/yr for renewals. Not sure where you’re shopping or if you’re eyeing some sort of premium domain, but generally it’s cheaper.
I have both, a domain on “new” TLD (like .place) that is my main but has hiccups on certain websites, and a cheap .com that I have tied to SimpleLogin for generating per-site throwaway addresses. This setup works great for me.
Idk about “boring”, a domain name like “rip17762025.com” would be a quite funny one for an American
It’s not boring. It’s just much more difficult to find a valuable .com domain. Working in business, receiving an email from a .place domain would likely go right in the trash.
