Well yes, but it was chosen because it means marxist-leninist to them, or that is what they used to claim. Now they claim that it was chosen because it was free, as they don’t believe in paying for domains, but also fmhy.ml was reclaimed because it was a free domain and lemmy.ml wasn’t reclaimed supposedly because they do pay for the “free domain they don’t believe in paying for.”
No, .ml was chosen because it was a free TLD and Mali government until now did not care about it. .ml TLD also does not look shady unlike other TLDs like .xyz or .zip ones.
Lemmy has a well established name like Mastodon, so it could have been granted an exception, its developers represent Lemmy.ml instance. Small instances, not so much.
True, “pull the wool over your own eyes” as the great guru J. R. “Bob” Dobbs says, however here it is more like “I’m not excepting your wool on my eyes.”
You have no proof that the Mali government decided to let lemmy.ml rock simply because it was “big.” Lemmy.ml being “big” is even debatable in and of itself, “big” compared to what, Reddit? Twitter? Just smaller lemmy instances? For some reason I doubt that the government in Mali has a stake in what happens to lemmy.ml, what the hell would they care? I doubt one Mali gov employee even has an acct there. Can’t be “money” since the pretense is that “the domain is free.”
Someone somewhere is lying, whether you ignore it or not, I don’t care.
That moment when you learn what .ml stands for.
Muh Lenin?
Mali?
Mali government TLD

So "???”

Yes but also they haven’t been removed like fmhy.ml “because fmhy.ml was free” so what’s up with that?

Ehhhh, not buying that.
Does not change facts. You can buy into delusion, FREEDUMBABY!
