This. This is exactly how I feel. The chapo name has value because it identifies what we are and roughly where we came from. Anyone who clicks onto hexbear is going to get a sea of of bizarrely obscure left wing injokes, an insular community of shared reference points that are a mystery to them and a whole lot of confusion. If they're serious about a name change, more than the name needs to change or its just going to create a website like an old buffy forum where 20-30 posters who all know each other reply to each other ad nauseum and drive away any new members with their insular culture. Which is what I suspect will happen tbh.
