Quick, genuine question because I don't know: What does the "ml" in [email protected] stand for? I thought it was for Marxist-Leninist but I'm actually not sure about that
It's the TLD for the country of Mali
.ml domains were "free" until recently, so many used them for their small scale projects. I did as well.
Malding Liberals
As the others said.
Though the admins/devs ARE Marxist-Leninists, to be fair.
It is the designation for the US military
The US military has the .mil extension, not .ml
It's fine. Just send your classified documents. It's cool.
you're laughing. I lost my free domain name and you're laughing?
Mali.
It marxist-leninist
It's actually the top level domain for the country of Mali, but it was probably chosen as a tongue in cheek reference to marxist-leninism.
I totally thought it was for Marxist-Leninist back when I first signed up 😌
