Still, even with such a meaning, taking it at face value, the name refers to one of those anti-western countries the west considers failed and "ebil", so to speak... so that kinda defines Lemmy's community.

Technically correct. What I've read on the web in a few places is that the devs that created Lemmy chose the TLD because they were MLs.
