    god damn why do so many federated services have such awful fucking names that feel disgusting to say

    friendica sounds like a strain of bacteria that eats your ligaments

    https://xkcd.com/856/

    TROCHEES, MOTHER FUCKERS, USE THEM IN YOUR FUCKING BRANDING.

    FACEBOOK. YOUTUBE. WHATSAPP. TIKTOK. SNAPCHAT. REDDIT. DISCORD. TUMBLR.

    TWITTER before it turned to utter shit partially because its name was changed to “X”.

    Hell even LEMMY is a Trochee and I think that’s part of why it’s managed to stand up to reddit this well!

    Even the big names that AREN’T trochaic get truncated to trochees! INSTA! PIN-TREST!

    They try to truncate Mastodon to Mast-o but people keep thinking THAT’S a reference to a disease too.

    fucking hell

    I’M MAD BECAUSE I WANT FEDVERSE SHIT TO SUCCEED AND IT’S LEAVING THIS PERFECTLY ACCESSIBLE LOW HANGING FRUIT TO ROT ON THE VINE WHEN IT NEEDS EVERY LAST FUCKING SCRAP OF HELP IT CAN GET

    the best time to change it was before it was made.

    the second best time is RIGHT. FUCKING. NOW.

    and the longer they delay, the more painful it’s going to be getting passed up by BLUESKY.
