Shouldn't this have a separate name, to avoid confusion and filesystem/repository clashes? I don't know if there is a trademark involved, but that's a potential legal issue the project will want to keep clear of. If there isn't a leading suggestion for the new name yet, I offer "Temerity". It's a close synonym for "Audacity", and highlights both the boldness of this new project, and the recklessness of Muse Group's changes. It also cleverly alludes to (avoiding) "Telemetry", which is a distinguishing feature of the fork.

    They were raided by 4chan so could be some screwed up stuff

      Sneedposting is a 4chan meme indeed, but this time there is nothing particularly nefarious about it; it's an adult joke from an old episode of The Simpsons, with a store front saying: "Sneed's Feed & Seed (formerly Chuck's)"

  The way the maintainer is behaving over this makes me want to take my chances with Muse Group instead.

    The way people are behaving over this makes me want the feds to take down 4chan. It's all fun and games until your loved ones are affected.

  Any idea why the naming poll has attracted so many trolls? How did 4chan types even find out about it? I know that people on 4chan like to disrupt any public vote they can, but this doesn't seem like a relevant target at all.

    i'd assume they're in for lulz and to give a new meaning to an old meme

    Voting and naming things really gets them going. Remember Boaty McBoatface, or naming a chunk of the space station after Stephen Colbert? Also, it's a long weekend and people are bored.

    Why not? Why shouldn't they get a say? 4chan types are more useful than you so why do you think you're vote should be protected from "them". Stop thinking you're special. 4chan's humor trumps any contribution you've made.
