    Right okay. I was not aware that there are only two… and I think .ml is general use. If anything I thought it was short for machine learning, like .io is short for input/output.

      I think there are only two.

      .ml was the domain for the country of Mali. Still is, actually - there was even some light panic a few months ago when Mali started changing terms for usage of the domain. It was chosen for two reasons - one, because the domain was free at the time of Lemmy and Lemmygrad’s founding, and two, because ml is also short for Marxist-Leninist.
