  The .ml suffix isn’t helping

    .ml = Mali.

    I know it was the haunt of scammers when it was a free domain, but the government of Mali have reassigned management now so hopefully it will be less problematic as time goes on.

      afaih, one of the reasons that lemmy.ml chose their domain suffix actually was for this reason, though I am unsure how much weight it had on their decision.

        @moosetwin I know that's the rumour but I suspect they were picking out of a very small pool of free domains and the free part had a lot more to do with it.

        Saying the Mali suffix "means" Marxist Leninism is a bit like saying your .com stands for Capitalism Only Mate. I mean sure it does but only in your own mind, not irl.
