You know, if that’s truly the only reason and it turns out I’m wrong I’ll gladly eat that L, and it would be a relief. I’ve just heard some iffy things specifically about it all.
EDIT: it’s stuff like this that I’m talking about.
Not sure why you would favor political reasoning for site that’s not even sorta politically based over economic reasoning (despite it being a free service) but that’s alright you’re allowed to have your own opinions
What does the
mlstand for in lemmy.ml? I don’t think the instance is based out of Mali…My brain jumped to “machine learning” initially. I never considered the alternative until explicitly pointed out.
Marxism-Leninism
Source? Or just a haha funny?
How familiar are you with TLDs?
Yes, I’m aware. My point is why did they pick .ml, specifically?
It’s one of the few free TLDs.

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
A quick Google gave me Mali, which is why I said as such.
But frankly I do not believe it is about being cheap, I do indeed think it’s as the other comment said - Marxist-Leninist.

It’s stuff like this that makes me think so.
I’m not going to click a random link you sent me, esp. considering what’s been going on.
Good try tho lmao
…Dude, that literally links to a post on this instance.
https://lemmy.ml/post/1167199 <- this is the link.
Mali, one of the cheaper TLDs
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.
Yeah, that’s the exact situation. I personally chose to pay $5-10 per year and use a less sketchy domain for my stuff.
