I always thought .ml meant or implied Marxism-Leninism. The site I'm viewing this from, hexbear.net, is basically a community of Marxist-Leninists. It's virtually all politics.
It technically means Mali.
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.
Not necessarily fully political and partisan, but there are political undertones at least here.
