Lemmy devs are/aren’t tankies

What does the ml stand for in lemmy.ml? I don’t think the instance is based out of Mali…

No, it’s true. Ask the devs or anyone at lemmygrad.ml, this is the reason why .ml was picked as a TLD. They don’t hide that they’re communists, look at their avatars on GH.

Yes, I’m aware. My point is why did they pick .ml, specifically?

Just wanted to make sure we were on the same page!

br, .co.in, and ml tlds must be pretty cheap for people because I see them all the time on threat feeds. ML is indeed the Malaysia tld

Edit: Mali not Malaysia lmao. I also looked it up, turns out the company that owned the tld gives em out for free

My brain jumped to “machine learning” initially. I never considered the alternative until explicitly pointed out.

Also know for having one of the highest malware count for a TLD. I migrated from it a few years ago because of that.

I would assume it is because you can get free (though super bare bones) .ml TLD, though you do have to pay a little if you want some TLD comforts.
