I appreciate your efforts to keep things civil, even with the lacking tools to do so here on Lemmy. I hope y'all as mods take this conversation seriously because regardless of its history, at best it's been co-opted by hateful people (IE the locked thread) and at its worse it's a dog whistle for authoritarian/racist behavior. If you want civility, change the name. Only more of these 4chan rejects will come if you all do not.
Well, that sounds nice, but you seem to have forgotten to bring literally anything to back up any of that.
At no point in time do I remember going onto r/pcmasterrace and thinking "wow, this place turned into a rightwing shithole, where did all of the nazis come from?".
Just because you say that everything's been co-opted doesn't mean that it has just because you don't like the name for arbitrary reasons.
This whole thing is an argument about nothing.
