Why do so many Lemmy servers use the .ml top-level domain? Is there a meaning to it?

Commonly used to indicate the domain related to “machine learning”.
In this case it may also be related to Marxism-Leninism.
I’d probably say this is why it was chosen by the original devs as I hear they’re outspoken communists. Other domains are likely just following suit.
It’s the Malinese top-level domain from what I can tell. As to why it is favored, I can think of two reasons:
- Domain registration is free
- It mimicks the OG lemmy.ml domain
