What does the ML in Lemmy ML stand for? (lemmy.ml)

I asked this as a comment on my previous post, but I still have some questions. 1: If ML stands for Mali and they're not from Mali, then why would they represent a foreign country? 2: Since it's not Mali, what does the ML stand for? If it's a pair of letters, it represents a country or stands for two words. Machine Learning? McCartney Lennon? Mega Lemmy?

Mind if I ask why? I don't like their political views, but this seems like a non-issue to me unless I'm not understanding something. They've never made any claims about living in Mali, and it's a popular and accepted trend of using domains that are convenient and cheap no matter their location. The only exceptions I believe are .gov and .edu.

Because it's representing a foreign country. I have a better grasp of it now, but I didn't understand why they did that.
