My silly -verse suggestion: palaverse, from palaver + universe.

The country of Mali has little to do with lemmy.ml, apart from an annual transaction worth 10 USD.

I was uncomfortable with the fact that .ml was hosted in Malaysia

Not to discount your other points, but lemmy.ml isn’t hosted in Malaysia. The .ml TLD is for Mali, a country in Africa. And the site is hosted by OVH, on servers in France.
