Apparently one of the lemmy.ml admins was overzealous in banning all User-Agent strings that contained the string “bot”. Bans were entered for all of the individual strings containing that word which were observed in their webserver logs, which impacted kbin’s reported agent of “kbinBot”.
The issue has been fixed, and I observed that one of my kbin posts to a lemmy.ml community was successfully pushed to the original instance.
Doesn’t the .ml stand for marx and lenin?
That’s the rumour.
It’s technically the domain for Malawi, who operate a free domain name scheme.
But apparently those devs picked it because of Marx Lenin.
Thank you for this! I’ve been wondering what it was but didn’t care enough to look it up.
It stands for Marxism-Leninism, which other people would call Communism.
