MODERATORS
From my understanding, a pair of letters either stands for something or represents a country. Since Lemmy is not based in Mali, then ML must stand for something.
ML in lemmy.ml stands for Marxist Leninist, I am not joking. The creators and developers of lemmy.ml are pretty left leaning.
You might not be joking but you are assuming. Do you have a link to a statement by a site admin that says explicitly that is what it stands for? Otherwise you're just speculating, and there are other reasons someone would have chosen
.mlbesides it standing for that.
