          IDK beatnik keeps talking about it like they're changing the domain name, but I just did a search for the domain he's talking about, and it's literally only him mentioning it on this entire site.

            Galaxy brain idea. Like taking "Marx" out of your obscure strain of Marxism, just so the impure ones don't get in.

            Honesty the direction the site is going in is different then the crowd that was initially drawn to the old sub and to some extent the podcast as well. Changing the name might stymie growth some but its worth considering the kind of growth you're attracting if hexbear is intent on keeping this place more PC

              I think the subreddit had some measure of cultural relevancy assigned to it that you'd lose if this was Just Some Messageboard - it's not just a matter of like, people being able to navigate to the site by name recognition.

              And there's absolutely no fucking chance that changing the name is going to slow down bad posters from coming

              plus hexbear is somehow even more forced than the fucking reddit alien

                  Sure, I'm hearing that for the first time, but also it's actually completely, fully meaningless to almost everybody, and the only reason some mods want that to be the name of the site, is that they feel some ownership over it more than they do over the double-stolen name of a Mexican druglord. They're paying 10 bucks a year for the domain name because they want to signal a fresh start, where it's their project now.

                    Sure. Hexagons as tags are also neat. It isn't quite as catchy as bread and roses though.

      Most people dislike it but there’s always a cell of a few people who still like it and every time the podcast does something dumb a few dozen of them change their mind and make big announcements about it.

        literally nothing to support this. redditors just have an outsize sense of how much normal people agree with them.
