minus-squareTheSpookiestUser@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·2 years ago Lemmy devs are/aren’t tankies What does the ml stand for in lemmy.ml? I don’t think the instance is based out of Mali…
minus-squareRed Army Dog Cooper@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up0·2 years agoMali, one of the cheaper TLDs
minus-squareDoomBot5@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·2 years agoAlso know for having one of the highest malware count for a TLD. I migrated from it a few years ago because of that.
minus-squareRed Army Dog Cooper@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up0·2 years agoI would assume it is because you can get free (though super bare bones) .ml TLD, though you do have to pay a little if you want some TLD comforts.
minus-squareDoomBot5@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·2 years agoYeah, that’s the exact situation. I personally chose to pay $5-10 per year and use a less sketchy domain for my stuff.
minus-squareTheSpookiestUser@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·2 years agoYes, I’m aware. My point is why did they pick .ml, specifically?
minus-squarestevedidWHAT@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·edit-22 years agoJust wanted to make sure we were on the same page! br, .co.in, and ml tlds must be pretty cheap for people because I see them all the time on threat feeds. ML is indeed the Malaysia tld Edit: Mali not Malaysia lmao. I also looked it up, turns out the company that owned the tld gives em out for free
minus-squareTheSpookiestUser@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·2 years agoA quick Google gave me Mali, which is why I said as such. But frankly I do not believe it is about being cheap, I do indeed think it’s as the other comment said - Marxist-Leninist.
minus-squarestevedidWHAT@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·2 years agoNot sure why you would favor political reasoning for site that’s not even sorta politically based over economic reasoning (despite it being a free service) but that’s alright you’re allowed to have your own opinions
minus-squareTheSpookiestUser@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·edit-22 years agoIt’s stuff like this that makes me think so.
minus-squarestevedidWHAT@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·2 years agoI’m not going to click a random link you sent me, esp. considering what’s been going on. Good try tho lmao

How familiar are you with TLDs?
Yes, I’m aware. My point is why did they pick .ml, specifically?
