A quick Google gave me Mali, which is why I said as such.

But frankly I do not believe it is about being cheap, I do indeed think it's as the other comment said - Marxist-Leninist.

Not sure why you would favor political reasoning for site that’s not even sorta politically based over economic reasoning (despite it being a free service) but that’s alright you’re allowed to have your own opinions

The devs are communists by political orientation and .ml is selected for a specific reason, not cuz it's cheap or free. lemmygrad.ml is also their instance, but lemmy.ml was made to accomodate to a crowd that may not share their political views.

Excellent explanation, I wasn’t aware of lemmygrad, thank you for the clarification

You sure are smart if you know it better than the developers THEMSELVES who said they picked .ml for no particular reason.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

IDK if that's thrue, but most people on lemmygrad when asked about the .ml TLD say that it was picked because of their political views, i.e. Marxist-Leninist.

They might have just made that up after the TLD was picked, that could also be true.

Everyone lies, even you and me.

It's stuff like this that makes me think so.

I’m not going to click a random link you sent me, esp. considering what’s been going on.

Good try tho lmao

...Dude, that literally links to a post on this instance.

https://lemmy.ml/post/1167199 <- this is the link.

I don’t have the ability to view the destination url on mobile without first rendering the site.

I was practicing safe internet practices, so wild right. Why don’t you fuck off now with that sick attitude of yours… dude.

If you are going to keep trying to avoid the actual point I'm making by conveniently refusing to read or acknowledge the post I've linked, then there's nothing more to say.

You’re an asshole, so I don’t give two fucks about your opinion. Have a terrible day.
