Did I get punished for saying something wrong? Did it get an update?

    Anyone can register a domain anywhere as long as the country allows it. Lemmy is not from Mali in this case.

      But since they’re not from Mali, what is the ML supposed to mean?

          But it bothers me that it has no meaning. It must stand for something.

            From my understanding, a pair of letters either stands for something or represents a country. Since Lemmy is not based in Mali, then ML must stand for something.

                I am not joking.

                You might not be joking but you are assuming. Do you have a link to a statement by a site admin that says explicitly that is what it stands for? Otherwise you’re just speculating, and there are other reasons someone would have chosen .ml besides it standing for that.

        Does it mean Machine Learning? Mr. Lemmy? Ms. Lemmy? Mega Lemmy? McCartney Lennon?
