the argument for .ml domain has always been absurd to begin with. So it’s free but the price you pay is that it’s being run by Mali. I’d just drop 8$/year tbh, that’s not a hill you want to die for. Also you harm your project by being SEO punished for using spam-associated TLDs like this. One of the reasons original Lemmy took so long to adopt until Reddit’s API drama. Pretty dumb ngl.
If i remember right it was also “free to register but insanely expensive to renew once they start to see traffic”
Renewal costs are my primary consideration when picking domains. Subscription fees is how your money disappears when you’re not looking.
