Shoutout to our hard-working maintainers, first of all.
Wanted to open a space for the community to discuss this aspect of marketing/identity.

As a shitter on the shitter I vote the name stays.
I’ll take that to Matrix and my grave. 🤣
chose the instance because of the name, stuck for the uptime, reliability and admins
Same here. If people don’t like it, fuckem 🤷♂️. I’ll find it all the funnier because of it.
Yeah, but at the end of the day we either want Lemmy to grow, or we don’t. And if we make it difficult or awkward for people to use Lemmy, then we’re shooting ourselves in the foot if our goal is to grow Lemmy’s user base.
this is just my opinion but taking away personality to appeal to a wider audience is one of the worst things modern megacorps do, the strength of the fediverse is the power it gives to individuals and communities over corporations with money, and so personality is one of the things the fediverse needs to maintain to succeed
100% agree, well said
The name says it all!
Same, came here to say this.
How dare they mess with Sh, It Just Works.
Sh, It Just Works ™️
Probably a fan if those fancy newfangled bash or fish shells.
Fish shells? I only know bash and sh…
Huh, TIL. Thanks.
I am partial to pdksh, mainly because when I read it I hear a drummer going “ba-dum-tschh” like at the end of a joke, which is how I see most of my sed invokations.
Does he know that
x.comis literally one of the biggest website on the Internet?Literally joined because of the name
Firmly agree. It sounds both a) fun, and b) wildly reliable. The two things I needed back when I was a Lemmy newb
It is a decent normie filter lol
They can join lemmy.world for regime sponsored front
Could build a reverse proxy to mask Lemmy links behind something that seems more legit
That’s partly why I’m here. I don’t want a big place where every normie shows up, and it just becomes facebook. Does this specific sever want to become a mega-platform?
I’d love it if the fediverse as a whole grew to that size. Any individual instance? No. That’s kind of the whole point of the fediverse.
For heroin! It binds together all life.
Why would we have opioid receptors if we weren’t Made to opiate?!
What’s the point of VIP if no one’s there to see you being a PI?
What’s the polite way to call someone a lil bitch. Genuinely curious because I wanna be PC but also an asshole. Anyway the creature in the post is a lil bitch ass
Little fuckin ass bitch?
I hope I nailed it 🙏
“diaper baby” is my favorite, you can borrow it
What’s the polite way to call someone a lil bitch. Genuinely curious because I wanna be PC but also an asshole. Anyway the creature in the post is a lil bitch ass
I believe that the most socially acceptable way would be (and remember that it’s an example, and not directed at you):
“fuck you, and your lil bitch ass attitude. You don’t know your father because he never even liked you, your mother blows strangers for bags of gummy bears and validation, and your ears look weird”
Note this is talking about regular gummy bears, not even edibles…
I’ve always been partial to “pissbaby”
As someone who works with a marketing department for a living, please don’t ruin this with marketing.
Chose the instance because of it being the first one that I found that wasn’t overwhelmed by new sign-ups of refugees from the sub place. Stay because of the name.
It’s stayed true!
If people can’t handle the word shit, they probably shouldn’t be looking at shit on Lemmy. Lmao
The commenter themselves used big f potty word 😱
Must have goody two-shoes friends
You got it lol
Was just about to link you to this post!
In my post, I removed the link to the original thread after someone in this comment section forgot to attack the idea instead of the person. Tsk tsk, chilling effects when we do that!
RE: chilling: It’s hard to find an idea expressed yet which is not shared by others. Attack the person, and the opinion stays, but in the future it may be hidden from view. And that’s just not better for anyone.
Thanks for sparking a big discussion!
Harumph of agreement!
The internet is serious business.
“oh no, swear words! can’t share this now!”
this sounds like a personal problem, sorry Ned Flanders!
I’m so used to tech and Linux stuff that I first thought that it was a special interest instance for shell scripting and TUIs. Now, it’s a toss up between “shit just works” and “sh! It just works”.
yeah, who would ever be on such an instance
haha
