Thank you for making explicit something I was wondering about. I noticed the .ml instances have a pro-authoritarian bias and couldn’t figure out what that stood for.
The lead Lemmy developer (who also runs this instance) published his Marxism Study Plan online. In fact, it’s on the same GitHub he uses to develop Lemmy.
The same devs also run Lemmygrad.ml, which is the more overt tankie instance of the two.
So yeah, I find it hard to believe that the .ml TLD was chosen for the devs’ affinity with the country of Mali.
It’s no surprise; the Lemmy developers are literally tankies. This instance’s name literally ends in .ml (Marxism-Leninism).

Wow that’s so wrong it’s funny.
.ml = Mali
The country of Mali allows free domain registration.
That’s why it’s used. Because it’s free.
But by all means, keep buying into the tankie conspiracy instead of actually reading into things

Or, you know, because it’s free and they’re running this service for you out of the goodness of their hearts?
.ml is the country code for Mali… https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.ml
Has nothing to do with Marxism-leninism.
