Well, this is just weird. When I was migrating from Reddit to this fediverse world I chose .ml and thought it was short for "machine learning" which seemed as a cool domain for me at the time.

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
