I mean, I knew it was a country top level domain but I was told Dessalines intended the "ml" as an abbreviation for "marxist-leninist"
That is not true, he has said multiple times it was used because it was free.
Some Lemmygrad dude bragged about that... Should have known it was wrong.
Anyways, thx for the clarification
