  Wait till you learn about the ideology of one of the lemmy devs…

    I don’t see any reason to care about that as long as they aren’t forcing their opinions on anyone tbh.

    Lemmy is open source so it doesn’t matter. Devs come and go.

    Oh I know all about that. It’s one of the reasons I enjoy clowning on tankies on lemmy.ml so hard.

    Fun fact: the .ml TLD is officially designated as belonging to Mali; the lemmy devs chose it as an acronym for “Marxist-Leninist”. This caused problems very recently when Mali suddenly re-exerted control of their TLD, where previously they did not take an active hand in its management.

    I’ll copy the top comment there, because it’s actually kind of important if you’re at all into web infra or self-hosting:

    Using ccTLDs when you have no relationship with the country is just asking for trouble. Comes across as naive and unprofessional, although I’ve seen many serious infrastructure built upon .co and .io names.

      i think the Marxist Leninist thing is disputed, It’s just a rumour and we don’t know if the devs chose it for that or they chose it because it was free on freenom

        It’s a rumor, but the devs themselves have said they’re strongly Marxist-Leninist

      I heard it was cuz .ML was free to get a domain from.

    I don’t see why I should care, as long as their not assholes, not breaking their own rules, and not abusing their powers as devs.
