    ML stands for Marxist leninist, which means they love authoritarian regimes that don’t like the US. The number of them that unironically stan Stalin is baffling.

      ML is machine learning. It means they love teaching AI to overthrow the illuminati government lizard people. Can’t believe u didn’t know that, kinda embarrassing

      Sees some use in Mali and for some websites about machine learning. Use is relatively rare elsewhere.

      .ml is the top level domain for Mali, it doesn’t have anything to do with Marxist-Leninism by itself. They may have chosen it as a tongue in cheek reference, but it is also a cheaper alternative to other more popular tlds like .com.

        Right. And TV means Tuvalu but it actually means television far more often than Tuvalu when it’s used in a domain name.

      .ml domain names used to be free (together with .ga I think it was) through freenom so it might just be that they snagged themselves a free domain that just happened to be ml.

      Not saying you couldn’t be right but not everything is quite as well thought out as it first seems.
