No that's not true.. .ml is the TLD for Mali and lemmy.ml selected it because it was free.... This claim you're making is like people claiming AC/DC stands for anti-christ devil-child. No, it's electrical currents, hence the lightning bolt...

With that said, they did censor anti-china rhetoric, had many pro-china trolls/brainwashed users, and started censoring words, including "bitch." So I'm not defending the instance. But this claim about what .ml means is just blatantly false! It's a country's TLD!
