      Lol. I think there is one for Republican and Democrat though. Which is funny. Or maybe it’s like conservative or something. I don’t know. There are so many TLDs now, it’s crazy.

        And you’re absolutely free to use it that way if the registry that handles is OK with it, but you just can’t expect people to instantly realize that your .tf site is a Team Fortress related site based on just the TLD, because the .tf doesn’t officially have anything to do with TF2, that was my point.

      No, it’s not a Mali instance. They’re using it for something else. You may also notice .io domains are not always based in the Indian Ocean, nor .ly for Libya, .tv for Tumalu, etc.

        That’s the official purpose of 2 letter TLDs, like it or not. Some countries have opted to sell them to everyone, but .ml definitely means Mali, not Marxism-Leninism.

        Since Mali lets anyone register domains with their TLD, you’re free to use it however you want, but you can’t expect everyone to know you’re using it because it also stands for Marxism-Leninism. It might also be a Machine Learning instance!

        They do mention their politics in some places but it’s definitely not outright obvious from their usage of the Mali TLD.
