The devs are communists by political orientation and .ml is selected for a specific reason, not cuz it's cheap or free. lemmygrad.ml is also their instance, but lemmy.ml was made to accomodate to a crowd that may not share their political views.

You sure are smart if you know it better than the developers THEMSELVES who said they picked .ml for no particular reason.

IDK if that's thrue, but most people on lemmygrad when asked about the .ml TLD say that it was picked because of their political views, i.e. Marxist-Leninist.

They might have just made that up after the TLD was picked, that could also be true.
