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?

    Lemmy: yes

    Mastodon: ONLY IF IT CHANGES ITS SHITTY, CLUMSY, UGLY, UNINTUITIVE NAME to something with more of the following features:

    1. Two syllables with the accent on the first (trochee)
    2. Bright, sharp consonant and sibilant phonemes that pop (instead of dull, wooden, sonorous ones that flop)
    3. Has a v or r sound in it to make it sound powerful
    4. 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.

      If we’re talking names, Lemmy is also not really good name, because when you search for it, you find Motorhead dude first

        That’s true! AND mastodon also has that exact same problem because there’s a metal band named mastodon! It’s like, how do people fuck up twice in the exact same way in the exact same context (social media services) - are they fucking TRYING to fail?
