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 :

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,

EDIT 30-Aug-2023:

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

      I put together a server once as a favor for someone at a university. This person didn’t know how to change the hostname so I set it to “killbot9000”. For years that whole lab had to log into killbot9000. (I’m sure they could have figured out how to change the name if they tried - I guess they thought it was funny too.)

      Anyway my point is that I should have called it “ubermachine” and now I will live with this regret for the rest of my life.
