I think it's because ML is a popular shorthand for 'Marxist-Leninist' since they mostly seem to be communist servers

.ml stands for Mali.

.ee stands for Estonia.

.tv stands for Tuvalu

Just like .ca stands for Canada.

Thanks, I know what it stands for but I am trying to explain why that particular top-level domain was picked for those lemmy instances

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

.ml was the main Lemmy before .world Most communities were there.

Thats not a rebuttal. The .ml instance is run by Marxist-Leninists
