I was wondering what the .ml (it’s certain that Mali isn’t some important country in the Fediverse) represented. Very interesting to know
Comment on Lemmy or Piefed?

The head developer(s) of Lemmy are hardcore Marxist/Maoist/Leninist. The “ml” in Lemmy.ml means “Marxist/Leninist”. They openly ask for donations so they can quit their jobs, develop Lemmy full-time, and use Lemmy to spread their beliefs.
PieFed was created specifically so people could contribute to the Fediverse without contributing to the advancement of Marxist/Leninist ideologies.

It doesn’t mean Marxist-Leninist. It’s a coincidence. The Lemmy devs said they started using the domain because .ml domains were free.

It’s actually a fun coincidence, the Mali TLD used to be free, so they picked it, but it’s not free anymore

On the other hand, Piefed also has a bit of a weird social credit system that I’m not a fan of.

You mean earning tokens or referring to something else?

It’s a little overstated. Piefed has some indicators to show when someone is usually downvoted more than upvoted, which can help people in moderation decisions, or it can be ignored
There’s also some controversy over a configurable limit to number of votes per day, in case an admin is worried about someone being more of a voting bot than an engaged user
But most piefed admins have configured things in ways they are more comfortable with

They don’t like how you’re limited in the number of up and down votes you can submit daily.
Personally I’ve never hit the limit.

Good to know. Thanks
