What does the
mlstand for in lemmy.ml? I don't think the instance is based out of Mali...Mali, one of the cheaper TLDs
Also know for having one of the highest malware count for a TLD. I migrated from it a few years ago because of that.
I would assume it is because you can get free (though super bare bones) .ml TLD, though you do have to pay a little if you want some TLD comforts.
Yeah, that's the exact situation. I personally chose to pay $5-10 per year and use a less sketchy domain for my stuff.
How familiar are you with TLDs?
Yes, I'm aware. My point is why did they pick .ml, specifically?
Just wanted to make sure we were on the same page!
br, .co.in, and ml tlds must be pretty cheap for people because I see them all the time on threat feeds. ML is indeed the Malaysia tld
Edit: Mali not Malaysia lmao. I also looked it up, turns out the company that owned the tld gives em out for free
A quick Google gave me Mali, which is why I said as such.
But frankly I do not believe it is about being cheap, I do indeed think it's as the other comment said - Marxist-Leninist.
Not sure why you would favor political reasoning for site that’s not even sorta politically based over economic reasoning (despite it being a free service) but that’s alright you’re allowed to have your own opinions
It's stuff like this that makes me think so.
I’m not going to click a random link you sent me, esp. considering what’s been going on.
Good try tho lmao
...Dude, that literally links to a post on this instance.
https://lemmy.ml/post/1167199 <- this is the link.
I don’t have the ability to view the destination url on mobile without first rendering the site.
I was practicing safe internet practices, so wild right. Why don’t you fuck off now with that sick attitude of yours… dude.
If you are going to keep trying to avoid the actual point I'm making by conveniently refusing to read or acknowledge the post I've linked, then there's nothing more to say.
You’re an asshole, so I don’t give two fucks about your opinion. Have a terrible day.
