Anyone want to clue him in on who runs .ml? I feel like it's going to break his heart. But also, I kinda feel like he should know...

[–] matto@lemm.ee 7 points 1 day ago (3 children)

Please tell us! I personally have no idea

[–] joanwestenberg@lemmy.world 18 points 1 day ago

There’s some accusations of bias / pro CCP moderation on .ml

There’s some stuff about it here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36255366

But I haven’t directly experienced any of this myself so I can’t speak to the truth of it. Idk.

The ml stands for Marxism-Leninism. They are tankies.

[–] coolmojo@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

ml is the Internet country code top-level domain(ccTLD) for Mali.

[–] bestboyfriendintheworld@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 day ago

Well the folks over at .ml aren’t from Mali or host their server there.

This is completely untrue and I don't know why people keep repeating this.

Lemmy.ml used to be the biggest instance and absolutely full of pro-russia people and shit (Lemmy was in general, lemmygrad was the second biggest instance behind ml) so it wouldn't suprise me

[–] kandoh@reddthat.com 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Because people with the @lemmy.ml tag are constantly saying the dumbest tankie shit ever.

When I see someone say Ukraine in 2014 was a CIA backed coup against the democratically elected pro russian government - it comes from that server, every time

Lemmygrad is worse actually, but most instances defederate from them

The lead developers of Lemmy. They also develop the mobile Lemmy app Jerboa (personally, not my first choice).

[–] LainTrain@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 13 hours ago

What's wrong with Jerboa? Probably the only app I'd use for Lemmy.
