Did I get punished for saying something wrong? Did it get an update?
I am logged in to lemmy.ml and it seems to run just fine as of now.
I got “bad gateway” a little while ago from my browser bookmark, but I just figured it was temporarily down and didn’t think anything of it.
I believe the top level domain, the .ML was reclaimed by the country of Mali recently, who own it. It was just bad luck.
No, it didn’t. Lemmy.ml is running just fine.
Is that what the ML means? I thought that it meant Machine Learning.
All two letter domains are for countries.
Even .tv which is Tuvalu

But what does the ML in this instance mean?
Mali. The country of Mali.
Lemmy is from Mali?
Anyone can register a domain anywhere as long as the country allows it. Lemmy is not from Mali in this case.
@BlameThePeacock @favrion I believe, he asked why developers of lemmy.ml has chosen exactly this domain for server instead of some other
But since they’re not from Mali, what is the ML supposed to mean?
I thought it was for motherland lol with the amount of tankies
If that’s the case, I figured it was “Marxist-Leninist”, which is what most of them prefer to describe themselves as.
And .com means communist.
Reminds me of the person who said that lemmy was communist because the groups were called communities
@blamethepeacock See? It does stand for something, since it clearly isn’t Mali.
Why would Lemmy feel the need to represent a foreign country?
@blamethepeacock No response?
@blamethepeacock All I’m looking for is a conversation.
Tankies? Is that a reference?
@favrion @1stTime4MeInMCU tankies is derogatory term of communists who regardless of reality excuse everything that authoritarian governments do. It was coined to describe Stalinists who defended USSR rolling in tanks on Hungary in 1958. They’re the mirror image of MAGA cultists who will be the first to defend Trump when he inevitably goes ahead and shoots someone in the middle of 5th Ave.
My 1st interaction with a tankie was a Canadian youtuber who made videos defending North Korea, not satire
What do you mean it disappeared from your list?
I didn’t see it on my drop-down list.
You’re posting from it so it seems to be working
The key word is “had.”
