That is the country that owns the TLD. Do you think the people who run this server, and wrote the code for it are from Mali?
I mean.. to anyone who doesn't know or is interested in who is hosting this instance .ml is just some top level domain. Just like .com or .de or .io this TLD, as you said happens to be the one of Mali. Yet you ask that question as if it's so obvious and react as if people are stupid when they don't reply the "correct" answer...
Kinda toxic ngl.
You being willfully obtuse and pretending this isn’t settled isn’t productive or in good faith.
Dude, 99% of people who joined Lemmy cannot define Marxism-Leninism in a reliable manner.. Most had no idea who the devs are, most have no clue how federation works, they just joined the first server they came in contact with..
If you think the people joining here all believe in Marxism-Leninism or are aware that the admins of the server are Marxist-Leninist, you are living in a fantasy world.
No they’re just defending the invasion and forced annexation of a country, brushing aside mountains of documented war crimes and Um AksHuAllying /both sidesing a war of aggression by an authoritarian dictator that rigs his own elections and came to power by killing his own people (while talking about wanting to annex Ukraine at the time) for… reasons. You can jump to defend the tankie fucks if you want but I’m not, I’ll continue to call them what they are.
Lemmy.ml has been clear from the start that ML stands for Marxist Leninist. You’re the one pretending ignorance for some reason.
I am entirely unsure how not being aware of what .ml stands for is "defending the invasion".
I for one didn't know this, i also didn't join lemmy.ml I joined feddit.de...
I have a strong connection to Ukraine now.
Все буде Україна! Я не знаю, чому ти це кажеш... Я люблю Україну!
What is your problem? I was simply trying to explain to you that most newbies who are now flocking to instances such as lemmy.ml don't give a shit about Marxism-Leninism and they don't know that the domain ".ml" stands for Marxism-Leninism.. Why are you trying to accuse me of "defending tankies"? What makes you even come to this conclusion? It's completely absurd..
Yeah I am familiar with Lemmy for about 2 years now, I'm completely aware that there are a lot of cringy tankies around here.. What I'm trying to tell you is that most people who have joined in the past couple of days are largely not tankies..
You can argue that people who are signing up to lemmy.ml would probably find that one out very soon if they just do basic research, and you would be right. But again, most people won't do that, they will simply click on join and ignore anything that is written there.
I'm not saying it's not what you say it is. I'm saying the way you said is is toxic. It's never gonna be clear to new people. I also have a .me domain and pretend it's from lotrs Middle-Earth. But I don't imply its obvious and react annoyed when people get it wrong.
idc. People are dying, and pretending that you don't know what is going on is toxic af.
