- SSLy 4y agoIt's the same cultural phenomena as using euphemism to call out devils lurking below your bed. Humans have been doing this for thousands of years.
- pas 4y agobecause the name is harmless, uninteresting and unambiguous, but if anyone asks "what's that orange site" they can explain that it's bad because it's libertarian/capitalist/idealist/optimist/progressive/every-account-is-elon-musk-himself. and this helps them to maintain their nice oversimplification too.
