    Yes, .ml users do indeed tend to be more concerned with fact-checking and saying things that are actually true, thank you for pointing that out.

    Asking out of curiosity what does that “ml” mean?

      Supposed to mean “machine-learning”, but the developers of Lemmy (whose instance it is) are using it to mean “Marxism-Leninism”, which is a misnomer invented by Stalin. While ml has some non-tankie leftists, that instance is infamous because of them.

        No, it officially stands for Mali. Why do you think it stands for machine leaning?

        It’s actually the TLD for Mali, not explicitly related to machine learning, or leftism. That’s mainly what it’s used for though, outside of Mali.

      Marxism leninism, it’s a political ideology, subset of communism. Basically the communists that love USSR, China, Cuba, etc. They love running propaganda about how these authoritarian governments did nothing wrong and how all criticism of them is just negative propaganda by the West.
