.ml is the country code for Mali... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.ml
Has nothing to do with Marxism-leninism.
The lead Lemmy developer (who also runs this instance) published his Marxism Study Plan online. In fact, it's on the same GitHub he uses to develop Lemmy.
The same devs also run Lemmygrad.ml, which is the more overt tankie instance of the two.
So yeah, I find it hard to believe that the .ml TLD was chosen for the devs' affinity with the country of Mali.
