@jonne@infosec.pub is right about the .ml part, as for vlemmy, one day it just stopped existing. nobody knows why. some people are theorising that the admin did not want to moderate and shut the instance down.
.ml top-level domain got taken back by the Mali Government “.ml” stands for Mali
Edit: lemmy.ml is still up either because the Mali Government haven’t gotten to them yet (lemmy.ml is after fmhy.ml in alphabetical order) or maybe they paid for the domain instead of getting a free domain like lemmy.fmhy.ml did.
What happened to them?
.ml domain names are being taken back by the mali government
What do you mean with taken back? Don’t they need to… give it away for someone to get a ML domain?
And what about vlemmy?
