  • Comments are saltier than expected

  • That was my comprehension as well, it just seemed highly impractical to define a completely unique system (in this case imperial) while there is a largely used alternative (metric). Both systems coexisting makes much more sense.

  • So that's the good thing, you have another admin (I don't think you mentioned it at any point earlier, if you did, sorry I missed it), which is a good thing! You should probably insist on that when you promote your community

  • When I speak about redundancy, I speak about sysadmins as much as disk redundancy. Taking my hypothetical scenario, something happens to you, you are in the coma, there is a security breach (like the one from a few days back), is there someone to take care of it? I know it might be unlikely but as I said, the Vlemmy thing was very low probability and still happened

  • That's very good, but what I'm saying is that people are getting cautious nowadays to make sure that their accounts can survive long term. I hope you'll be well as long as possible, but what happens if something happens to you tomorrow? Who would take care of the servers? Do you have a redundancy plan? The success of LW as the main Lemmy instance is because the admins are experienced, and are a team. Some other instances are managed by non profits or long established groups. That can be a differentiator for choices.

  • I see, indeed the humorous part should be preserved. As I'm a bit lazy, I asked ChatGPT for suggestions with "Glorious" in it, here are its answers:

    • The Glorious PC Gaming Order
    • The Glorious PC Gaming Guild
    • The Glorious PC Gaming Legion
    • The Glorious PC Gaming Society

    Glorious Gaming Guild would be G³, and kind of have the same vibe as PCMR, what do you think?

  • Be also careful with potential users being cautious about you going out of business overnight. Vlemmy.net members had that happen to them last week.

  • Someone fell for the Hot bug algorithm I guess. Or some learning necromancer

  • Probably AMA, it's not like there's anything related to Reddit in the name

  • I hope there are alternatives for news, because this looks horrible

  • The communities are listed in the sidebar

  • I'm not taking it that seriously, and that's why I don't think the name matters that much. Other people mentioned that the whole "race" part of the name could be an issue in some environments or contexts.

    What is PCMR core concept, after all? That PC gaming is better than consoles. That's mostly it, and if we can find a name that summarises that without the race part, I don't see the issue.

    As always, happy to disagree.

  • Rule 3: this place is not for support questions

  • What about PCElitism? That would summarise the community quite well

  • Just wanted to say thank you to the mods to start this discussion. It will definitely be a heated one, but it was probably needed.
