    I can see that it’s enticing to get a free domain… But domain costs are trivial. Like $10 a year, why risk it?

  The scuttlebutt is that it's a inside joke by the far-left dev of lemmy to stand for marxist-leninist, but it's just as likely, if not more, that it was chosen because it's free.

  Keep in mind that most (all?) two-letter TLDs are associated with a country. This includes stuff like .io, .tv, and .me
