Why are so many instances using .ml anyway?

[-] Ginjutsu@lemmy.world 147 points 1 year ago

AFAIK, lemmy.ml and lemmygrad.ml use it because the ml can also stand for "Marxist-Leninist", and the two primary maintainers of Lemmy are Marxist-Leninists . Not sure about the others though.

That's not true at all. ML was used as an idiological choice as it's the only free TLD you can get and you should not have to pay for a domain name as per Lemmy's creators ideology.

That’s not true. There are a few other free TLDs. I think five total?
