It’s just whataboutism. There’s been extensive, well-sourced evidence of instances like .ml abusing their powers to support authoritarian dictatorships, so to to muddy the waters a lot of people are spamming “.world bad” at every opportunity. Notice how they never give examples of any of .world’s supposedly massive wrongdoings, they just treat it as something everyone knows.

As for this example, it probably wasn’t Onion-y enough.
