Hello PCMR community!
On July 13th, we asked the community for your opinion if you would like to change the name of this community.
Results of the Survey :
- Yes - 28.1%
- No - 71.9% (winner)
Of the 1,201 responses received, we as a community have democratically decided that we should not change the name from PC Master Race. I am grateful to our community for your input, as this was a difficult topic to navigate together.
If you would like to review the history of this, please check out this post here: https://lemmy.world/post/1430610
We'll pin this post for some time and then consider adding a bullet into the sidebar for this Community to help stave off further discussions around this topic as the community has already decided collectively.
Kind regards,
The Moderator Team

Due to some of the recent targeted attacks against Lemmy.world, I noticed that the image I shared with this post was purged from their servers.
Here's a new screenshot of the results for posterity: https://i.postimg.cc/jqNg5gWx/pcmrsurvey.png
Fair enough, and thank you for posting these results. I think this confirms that this is not a community that I am comfortable being associated with.
Take care and I’m sure I will see some of you on the other related instances
Thanks for being civil, and I respect your decision. Check out the PCGaming community, if you're not already subscribed.
They're smaller than this one, but they can definitely use more contributions and collaboration.
Same, plenty of places to talk PC building without glorifying Nazi rhetoric haha. Y’all have fun tho
You know it makes fun of it, doesn’t glorify it right?
Thinking is hard don't make him strain his brain.
Lol yeah because everyone magically knows the history of your community. And you totally didn't spend years posting memes ridiculing other platforms.
Pcmr has always been a community of hostile, cringeworthy and unwelcoming edgelords and this poll proves it. You all keep living up to the name itself and not the excuse you pull out keep it
Feel free to leave at your leisure, you won't be missed.
People like you who come into communities just to demand they change to fit them never are, I wonder why...
Lmao did you really just "welllll ackshually 🤓" someone on the term master race? You go ahead keep telling yourself "master race" isn't associated with Nazis dude
Swastikas were also not invented by Nazis and are also still used in other cultures as a sun symbol. Doesn't mean that is isn't associated with Nazis in our culture today
