What's wrong with the name? I like it. Valid points on everything else though.

It’s long and confusing imo. I really don’t like banes that include the tech in the name. I dont want to use a platform that only wants to attract tech nerds like me i want people who know things about things i know little or nothing about too. Even a completely irrelevant name like Lemmy is great because it’s short, easy to spell, easy to remember, and is appealing to anyone.

Stuff like forgejo, pixelfed, etc aren’t memorable or convenient. I understand it’s “federated pixels” but i still don’t like it

Don't know about you but I thought forgejo and pixelfed were fairly memorable names. To each their own
