Wait, lemmy.ml is French ?

No, they are just hosted in the OVH data center in France.

I mean, aren't the lemmy dev and lemmy.ml admins French?

[–] poVoq@slrpnk.net 7 points 1 year ago (2 children)

No. One is from Austria and the other lives in Canada.

Canadians are half french.

The .ml is the country extension for Mali, which was colonized (read that how you want) by France along with other regions of Africa. Just recently French troops left Mali after a nine year military operation to fight Islamic militants.
