    Why do you think there are rules for community names? There are no rules or expectations (at least not yet) for community names.

    The well-known answer for why this community is named this is that it is a recreation of another community that was also named this.

      And it shouldn’t have been like that over there but we still had to make the same mistake over here?

      I never mentioned rules, don’t put words in my mouth.

        If you don’t think of it as a mistake, simply an inconsequential detail, it makes perfect sense to retain it as a form of identity, so people that switched platforms can feel like they moved as a group.

        I wasn’t putting words in your mouth, you are acting like they have somehow done something incorrectly, but that would imply there is a correct way, which would imply rules for how to do it, official, unspoken, whatever idc.

        Anyone can make their own group on a different instance and call it the same thing. If you don’t like how lemmy.world works, don’t take it out on the mods here, either find another instance, start one yourself, or if you have to, take it up with a lemmy.world admin
