.ml and .dbzer0
Both have proven themselves insufferable, biased, and all around plain toxic.

Whinging about lemmy.ml yet again are you? Speaking of making the fediverse more enjoyable, it's a good idea to ignore folks who love to stir the pot and create fediverse drama.

You know what's funny is .ml was one of the first instances I signed up for. I thought it stood for machine learning or something to do with programming.
I've got an ml account too, but at the time I think world was normal. I think world has also gone the Reich way.

wait, what does it stand for?
Technically it is the top-level domain name for Mali.
I’m fairly certain that the Lemmy devs chose it because of their two favorite socialists/communists: Marx and Lenin. But I can’t find a reference to that right now.
Marx was a socialist political philosopher, that helped define the social end goal of communism. Lenin was a militant revolutionary that thought he could ignore Marx's slow natural social evolution to communism. And force it under authoritarian boot heel. He was aspirationally communist at best, but not communist. His ideology has failed to achieve it everywhere it was tried. Generally, creating a new class of Petit Bourgeoisie or even collapsing into open fascism.
Other than that you are correct. Lemmy.ml hexbear.ml and lemmygrad.ml all chose the Mali TLD because of the abbreviation.

quality advice masquerading as a meme
The best jokes have a lot of truth to them!
I was wondering why so many tankies dominated that instance.
ML meaning "Marxist-Leninists" makes so much more sense now.
What a bunch of assholes.
