but ML also can stand for Marxist Leninist and im sure has been the the way it was read by most early adopters

The official and authorized use for the TLD is an association with Mali. It doesn't matter what hip new meaning us internet dweebs want to assign to it.

Kinda funny considering they got the ml domain to mean Marxist-Leninist and then would get fucked by nationalization

Yes, and q-tips aren’t for cleaning your ears.

No, stop spreading this nonsense, it was never chosen because of that. It was used because it was free and the developers don't care about creating funny names with the DNS or for glorified expensive DNS.

Or machine learning. There's at least one ML based project that got a headache out of this yesterday.

I feel like after weeks of wondering why .ml, I should've figured this out by myself... Beware, sleep deficit is real!
