Hi, there have been some controversy on lemmy and in particular lemmy.ml with regards to affiliation with Putin.

I was wondering what were the point of view of the owner of Lemmy.world on the topic.

. ml is the country code for Mali right? Or does it mean something else here?

I think .ml was a popular cheap domain back when they started

I think the problem is moreso (as far as I’ve heard) that the owners of the lemmy.ml instance overlap with the owners of lemmygrad, which is basically the table/authoritarian commie instance. There have been some rumours about posts and comments being deleted for being critical of China/Russia. How much of that is true, I don’t know,l. What I have noticed is that there is a higher percentage of tankies on Lemmy, but they’re still usually down voted when they say dumb stuff.

Until China wakes up and then the communist in name only posters go off the rails downvoting criticism of modern russia or China, two countries that are the antithesis of what communism espoused.

Yes, but it’s only because it looks cool AFAIK, lemmy.ml is hosted in France

It can be interpreted as Marxism-Leninism, which I’m pretty sure both Lemmy and Lemmygrad have stated is the intention.

Also they were dirt cheap/free when the first Lemmy instances were launched. 😁
