minus-squareteolan@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up18·1 year 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-squarelivus@kbin.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up6·1 year agoPretty sure most countries use .ac for universities. Ac.uk, ac.au, ac.nz are all standard.
minus-squareBill Stickers@aussie.zonelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·edit-21 year 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)
