    Well, this is just weird. When I was migrating from Reddit to this fediverse world I chose .ml and thought it was short for “machine learning” which seemed as a cool domain for me at the time.

      No, it’s Mali.

      The rumour is that lemmy devs chose it to mean “marxist leninist” but I think it’s more likely they wanted a free domain name.

        The rumor is fake, the devs have said it multiple times. If they would have wanted to do some funny Marxism meme they would have used .su

          Maybe they didn’t choose it for that, but to be fair they are definitely and admittedly Marxist-Leninists

            Yeah they are, so if they did choose .ml for that reason they would have no problem admitting it also. So it’s pretty clear that they just wanted a free domain.
