    ML stands for Marxist leninist, which means they love authoritarian regimes that don’t like the US. The number of them that unironically stan Stalin is baffling.

      .ml is the top level domain for Mali, it doesn’t have anything to do with Marxist-Leninism by itself. They may have chosen it as a tongue in cheek reference, but it is also a cheaper alternative to other more popular tlds like .com.

        Right. And TV means Tuvalu but it actually means television far more often than Tuvalu when it’s used in a domain name.

          how many websites have you seen use it based on its meaning of marxist leninist versus how many have used tv for television?

          lemmy and lemmygrad, can you name others?

          I hate them for ccp/russia propaganda but this is straight up mental bubble made up by some edgelord with no rational argument.

          Just because you want it to be so, doesn’t make it.

      .ml domain names used to be free (together with .ga I think it was) through freenom so it might just be that they snagged themselves a free domain that just happened to be ml.

      Not saying you couldn’t be right but not everything is quite as well thought out as it first seems.

      ML is machine learning. It means they love teaching AI to overthrow the illuminati government lizard people. Can’t believe u didn’t know that, kinda embarrassing

      Sees some use in Mali and for some websites about machine learning. Use is relatively rare elsewhere.
