Yeah unfortunately anything ending in the mali domain (.ml) is Tankie. Scary when you consider they own the largest worldnews community. So much propaganda.
… unfortunately the tankie devs don’t allow others to edit certain things, like the slur list. There was drama about a year or two ago where certain instances wanted to add the slurs tankies use to the blacklist, but the developers refused because they’re fine with certain types of slurs.
.ca is Canada, .us is USA, .UK is United Kingdom. All the country’s have a top level domain. I also believe they can freely take back said domain as they wish.
.ee in your case is Estonia. Since lemmy is the prefix for many instances, referring to their country TLD is sometimes easier.
You just said this. Lemmy.ml is the instance with the Mali TLD. He wasn’t talking about Mali’s involvement, he’s talking about the Lemmy instance using Mali.
Why are you being dv? You’re pointing out their lack of reading comprehension.
Ml is the Mali domain, often used by tankies as it also stands for marxist lenninist.
But it’s a Mali domain. Why would anyone imply Mali has anything to do with it.
Mali didn’t have official control over their TLD until recently. It was always intended for Mali’s use. Thus, having a backup non-.ml domain would have been a prudent precaution to take (and still is, if you’re using any interesting TLDs that aren’t really intended for general use, like .io)

That’s a big problem with decentralized platforms like Lemmy: they can easily be co-opted by adversarial third parties.
Yeah except tankie stuff is what Lemmy was designed for
That’s the good thing about open-source work - it has no true owner.
True!

About the slurs, that was maybe true a while ago but that’s no longer the case. https://sh.itjust.works/comment/192425
Are you sure? I’m fairly certain instances define their own slur lists.
Have a read
I might be missing it somewhere in the comment chain, but that looks like a discussion about the Lemmy.ml admins denying genocide and the like.
The Lemmy.ml admins are the developers
I love all of the instances that say “no tankie shit” but are federated with hexbear.
Raise attention to that matter, point it out to the instance owners and admins.
Fantastic. This is why we can’t have nice things.
Mali isn’t involved in this. In fact Mali didn’t even have control of the TLD before recently.
I have mostly seen .ml used for machine learning stuff.
.ml is reserved for Mali.

They were quite spooked when .ml threatened to take back their domain
Our domain.
Yes, I know how TLD work.
It’s very common that people use TLDs for sites that are not affiliated in any way with the country.

I have nothing to do with fish 🙃
