[Prefacing by saying this is entirely in good faith, I've been using this site & the sub on a few different alts since 2017]
At the same time, naming ourselves hexbear.net (or some derivative of hexbear) was a very popular second choice when we voted on a URL back before the site opened
Why not just do another poll instead of vaguely going off what different people said on the discord in July?
Why did some members of the dev team respond to users trying to give valid criticism with mockery like posting them on r/copypasta, telling them to go log off, and saying "don't care" or "too bad" or things to that effect? I get that there are a lot of trolls/wreckers, but it rubs people the wrong way when it seems like the mods are attacking the users. It also makes me feel kind of condescended to because it implies we are too stupid to make a good decision.
Cheers
There were a couple that deserves mockery, like the god tier bit I wish I would have come up with about not being a communist anymore because a country run like this website would be bad. Lmao.
Also, imagine defending the name hexbear.net lmfao 🤣 so god damn cringe
I will say, as someone who was on the sub with a number of alts from less than 10k, I’m glad we don’t have the same user base as we did when we had the sam Kris struggle sessions
Agreed on all points except I personally don't like making fun of people unless they are libs or chuds beyond repair. Treat others the way you want to be treated, etc etc
i'd like to argue that a poll held over 7 months ago probably doesn't match what people's opinions on the site name are now. i'm personally indifferent on changing the name, but i'd rather not change it to a (somewhat forced imo) meme that happened to be popular when the sub got banned (i also don't really like the hexbear branding)
Why not keep the branding but just let people buy domain names if they want and do a poll again (since the last one was on a different platform and nine months ago)? The name doesn't have to be the same as the logo
The real point I guess I have been dancing around is why not simply ask for input that we are happy to provide if asked? Whenever this has been brought up in the past I gave the same shpiel about what I think the name should be but it feels like no one listened (I get no one would listen to one user personally but you know what I mean)
I feel like people didn't really take it seriously because before like 3 days ago it didn't seem like it was a set-in-stone decision. If you said "We're renaming the site, you have two weeks to give ideas", people could come up with some really creative stuff. There's 14k people here, I bet at least one of us has an idea that a majority likes.
Literally the last OP saying we should rename the sight I saw before today was a person who said that parents should be randomly selected, like if the discourse happens there no ones gonna take it seriously lol
At the end of the day people just like to feel included in the decision making process :)

What about those who were never on the discord?
Yeah I'm pretty sure the discord interim period had like the least number of posters ever, and very little time to think
