What the title says. I think there is still a long way for that to happen but i’ve been hopeful. What do you think?
minus-squareCyrus Draegurlinkfedilink12•edit-21 year agoLemmy: yes Mastodon: ONLY IF IT CHANGES ITS SHITTY, CLUMSY, UGLY, UNINTUITIVE NAME to something with more of the following features: Two syllables with the accent on the first (trochee) Bright, sharp consonant and sibilant phonemes that pop (instead of dull, wooden, sonorous ones that flop) Has a v or r sound in it to make it sound powerful Bouncy and fun to say, therefore memorable For example, it might catch on with a name like “Trunky” - I’m sure people who are more creative than me might come up with even better names.
