The ml in lemmy ml means marxism-leninism, it's maintained by the lemmy devs so it has lots of "normal" users too. Some people associate lemmy.ml with "tankie" viewpoints.

Lemmy devs are tankies, especially the main maintainer

At least they’re more level headed than Nutomic is.

Nutonic is literally a transphobe who is on record as saying that trans rights are western degeneracy

I wonder what Blahaj thinks of him

Hexbear isn't fond of Nutomic either.

The ml in lemmy ml means marxism-leninism

It means Mali and was chosen because it was cheap/free

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 month ago (1 children)

You're both right!

It is Mali's domain, and Marxist-Leninists choose that domain to work out of because of the initialism.

Kinda like why BIOT's domain is so popular with the tech folks.

And Tuvalu's domain is popular with streaming sites

chosen because it was cheap

Um nah, there are a LOT of cheap ass TLDs, hell even .com TLDs are only $10-20 a YEAR

It might not actually mean marxism-leninism (then again, who the hell knows, we have .zip TLDs now ffs), but it sure does to the .ml admins

I wouldn't have a problem with if it wasn't for the mods

The ml stands for Mali, which is the country the instance domain is registered to. The Marxist-Leninist connection is a happy coincidence for them.
