All two letter domains are country codes. So .ml is Mali. .tv is Tuvalu. etc.
By the way, this is why there is concern that when Britain will cede British Indian Ocean Territory (IO) to Mauritius as they announced, the .io domain will be phased out forcing many sites to find a new domain.
With Trump in office, there's not a single chance that we get to take back Chagos...
You can register a domain under any TLD, so people often use them to finish words or convey other meanings. In the case of lemmy.ml it's apparently meant as Marxist-Leninist.
Yes, that is why I chose .tv and .io as an example :D
No. While most TLDs are general purpose, not all of them are. Most obvious example being .gov
That's correct, there are a few exceptions so you cannot use literally any TLD you want. What I should have said is that registering a TLD that's a country abbreviation doesn't imply that the registrant is in that country or has anything to with that country.
Yes. While it does not contradict what you are saying, I think it is good to mention there are also countries that restrict their TLDs to people and companies that have something to do with that country. For example Australia requires local presence to register .au domains and Azerbajan is even stricter, allowing only residents to register .az domains.
