    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’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.
