You know that the .ml in lemmy.ml stands for "Marxist-Leninist", right?
It's actually the domain name for Mali, but that's allright. Just like how be in youtu.be is simply the domain name for Belgium
some people just like to "know the secret meaning that you dont know but im gonna tell ya". if youtu.be wouldn't be on their likening, the .be domain could easily disclose as butt-eating or whatever two word combination would go along as "meaningful" to smear.
i simply choose to believe it means bagel enjoyer
What are your favorite bagels? Good New York bagels are great! I also really enjoy a Montreal bagel sometimes. I'm in Texas where bagels are mostly from national chains or the grocery bakery, which are ok because you can usually get a jalapeno cheddar.
my food preferences have not changed since i was a child so i like cinnamon raisin
.ml stands for Mali.
.ee stands for Estonia.
.tv stands for Tuvalu
Just like .ca stands for Canada.
Why .ee stands for Estonia? Where's the 2nd e?
This sounds like a really dumb rumor. Do you have evidence?
I don't know if there's any "evidence" but it's well known that the devs of Lemmy are Marxist-Leninists, and that's the reason for many choosing to use Lemmy.
I don't mean evidence for their political convictions, I mean that they chose .ml specifically because it could stand for Marx and Lenin.
