      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.

      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

        Back 3y ago the users claimed it did mean marxist-leninist (or rather if we must be pedantic, that the TLD does mean Mali but they chose it because it meant marxist-leninist to them.) They stopped around the time of the exodus (read: they put on a mask to trap unsuspecting redditors) and they’ve ramped back up since everyone defederated hex and grad (my guess, those users created .ml alts specifically to proselytize to the unwilling like Evangelical roaches once their supply to feed their victim complex dried up.)

        History for posterity’s sake.
