I’ve always found the “master race” moniker on Reddit subs really offputting/distrubing. Why repeat that here? It could just as easily be called “PC Enthusiast” or something totally normal.

    I always wondered where that awful name came from, and why it gained so much traction. Thank you for this helpful internet history lesson.

    However, since this name was born from discord (not the app obviously) and we’re regrouping on another network, why not give it a new name and leave the stale history behind?

      I think part of the issue is probably that when making a platform jump, keeping the same name and branding is important to make sure members can find their way back. I don’t know how federation handles the closing / renaming of magazines, but once everyone’s established it could certainly be something to vote on.
