Out of curiosity, other than fmhy.ml, lemmy.ml, and lemmygrad,ml, what other Lemmy instances were using .ml domains? Also, how are the latter two still running but fmhy.ml isn’t?

Why are so many instances using .ml anyway?

AFAIK, lemmy.ml and lemmygrad.ml use it because the ml can also stand for “Marxist-Leninist”, and the two primary maintainers of Lemmy are Marxist-Leninists . Not sure about the others though.

I’m going to have to make a copy paste for this:

.ml stands for Mali.

.ee stands for Estonia.

.tv stands for Tuvalu

Just like .ca stands for Canada.

this is technically true, but it’s not why lemmygrad, ran by full on communists, chose the .ml tld

Stalinists, not communism

It’s funny you’re getting down votes for this. ML was literally created as the official formulation of Marxism & Leninism for the USSR by Stalin.

Reactionary Stalin/China/etc stans try to frame themselves as communists and don’t like it when it’s called out. They’re like qanonists with a different cult leader.
