Why are so many instances using .ml anyway?

[–] Ginjutsu@lemmy.world 165 points 2 years ago (36 children)

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.

Please don't make a copy paste for this, smh.
