It's like if your buddy created an awesome website that provided a great free service and then called it jflasdjfjasdfjkereifsd.yzy You'd wonder they shot themselves in the foot like that. It would've been easy to give it a good name but instead they severely limited the potential of their hard work for seemingly no reason. It's not entitlement, it is confusion. Also why are you so confrontational?

I don't need to type the address to use it. If the site is "awesome", I will use it regardless of the name.I DO NOT CARE ABOUT THE NAME, I care about what it does and what are the guiding principles. I am confrontational because your "confusion" is just stupid concern trolling. Do you think that it is important to get more people to be less dependent on Big Tech? Then here is an operating system that works pretty well. This is what you need to be telling people, not how you think that the name is bad. Stop worrying about the "marketing", and just use and promote better alternatives. By being and acting self-conscious about something that does not matter, you are not collaborating at all.

  > I will use it regardless of the name.I DO NOT CARE ABOUT THE NAME Your preferences are not consequential. We are concerned with how the public behaves. And names matter a lot for discoverability. If you really cared about more people using /e/, you should be concerned that the name is needlessly reducing its reach. I plan on trying /e/, but you are not doing the project any favors with your attitude.

    > We are concerned with how the public behaves. Speak for yourself. I am not "concerned" about anything so abstract as "public behavior". All I am "concerned" about is my personal ability to keep my freedom and my choices, and by extension I am concerned about others having the same freedoms. Being concerned about "behavior" is the last of my worries. > And names matter a lot for discoverability. It didn't stop you from finding out about it, did it? > you are not doing the project any favors with your attitude. Why? Are you worried that if people see you using a phone with /e/OS you will be associated with grumpy rude graybeards?
