It's that y'all are terrible at picking names for a social media site, shits like if parler was gonna be named "whitepride.topkek" or "thesouthwillrise.up". Please take the time spent complaining that no one asked you for alternatives and instead use that to come up with something that doesnt sound like a single use gimmick joke site like "communismwill.win" that just sounds like a blank page with a karl marx le trollface saying "Communism will win, problem burgeroise?"

    Its not hiding it, its just not frontloading it and making us look like obsessively leftist. It has the benefit of taking some of the seriousness away so this is a left leaning space you can hang out in rather than a leftist left site for leftists to talk about leftism.

    And again you can just advertise it as a leftist site without making the url and name into a big hammer and sickle which just makes us look lame and uncreative.

        Yeah so why make the name sound like a buncha squares arguing about das kapital.

          i'm not for putting anything that's strictly ML in the name, but focusing on the idea that we lean left and are for shitposting is probably good idea.

            Its kinda easy to say that but from the suggestions Ive seen in the two suggestion threads it basically just turns into "we wanna show people we are leftists and like shitposting, lets name ourselves leftistsshitposte.rs" or some other domain name super clever joke.
