apparently r/anarchism has been in lockdown for quite some time now and they link to their own reddit alternative called raddle.me, which is not fediverse integrated, sadly. they also have a long list of alternatives, but lemmy isn’t one of them
That seems to be the case because lemmy’s main dev is a ml. (edit: meaning 'marxist leninist, apologies for not being clear on that)
It’s somewhat sad for me because the whole philosophy of the fediverse is anarchistic in its core, it is how it should be, it is how the internet should work. So I wondered - what are the biggest anarchistic communities in the fediverse so far?
What’s wrong with .ml?
It stands for M😨arxist-L😱eninist, a political philosophy that endorses a strong state to act as vanguard for the communist revolution. Anarchists in contrast advocate for the dissolution of the political hierarchy that is the state.
They like to fight on the internet a lot.
There’s also an entire spectrum of left-lib in there as well.
Im taking a guess here. Maybe machine learning? Like AI?
I never thought to even question it until this post.
ML in this context means Marxist/Leninist. The mali domain might also be a reference to that.
afaik the main reason for th domain is that Mali domains (.ml) have been free to get for some time. it neatly coincides with their marxist-leninist ideology so I guess that’s why they went for that domain
This makes more sense.
Thanks!
I mean .ml has existed for years, has it not? Not that AI stuff is new, it just got a surge in discussion and controversy. I don’t know what ml stands for though
.ml is the top level domain for the country of Mali.
