Considering what is known about lemmy, its creators, and the original instances, it seems to hold up. But regardless of the true meaning of ml, the political leanings of lemmy.ml were very far left before the reddit migration, and I feel that's the reason why you see such an aggressive presence of communist memes on ml's meme page.

My first account on Lemmy got banned for suggesting that ml was for marxist-leninist even though it clearly is.

Like why do you think Lemmygrad, the explicitly tankie instance, chose the same domain? Coincidence?

My source is not being a fucking idiot. Yes, the guys with the Mao and Castro avatars whose entire personality is being MLs just chose that domain by chance. Jfc you are either so dumb or so disingenuous.
