.com and .net are under US jurisdiction they are not stateless. I could also see why the original lemmy developers would not want to use such a domain.

That may be technically true, but both TLDs are ubiquitous and it's extraordinarily unlikely that the US will suddenly start confiscating millions of .com and .net domain names operated by non-Americans.

Nobody said they would confiscate millions of com or net domain names or random non-Americans. We are talking about the lemmy developers specifically.

But there is no reason to get a US registered domain as a non US citizen who is also not hosted in the USA.

I really doubt they'd do that either.
