Asking out of curiosity what does that "ml" mean?

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (2 children)

Supposed to mean ~~"machine-learning"~~ Mali, but the developers of Lemmy (whose instance it is) are using it to mean "Marxism-Leninism", which is a misnomer invented by Stalin. While ml has some non-tankie leftists, that instance is infamous because of them.

Supposed to mean “machine-learning”

No, it officially stands for Mali. Why do you think it stands for machine leaning?

Great question! The truth is that the CCP and Russian Federation are basically spiritual successors of Marx himself. Here's a list of bullet points explaining...

It's actually the TLD for Mali, not explicitly related to machine learning, or leftism. That's mainly what it's used for though, outside of Mali.

Marxism leninism, it's a political ideology, subset of communism. Basically the communists that love USSR, China, Cuba, etc. They love running propaganda about how these authoritarian governments did nothing wrong and how all criticism of them is just negative propaganda by the West.
