To be fair, are there any social media platforms that don't have a kind of stupid name?

    I thought Diaspora was a decent sounding name. If it had more traction and actually pulled a sizeable diaspora away from Facebook it would have fit better than Facebook, Twitter/X, or Instagram's names.

    Most of the big ones at least have some kind of coherence behind their naming scheme.

    The open source stuff is like: prehistoric hairy elephant, misspelled name of animal used as a metaphorical comparison for people doing dumb shit in a mob which seems to be insulting it's users, and then some random words slapped onto the word fed - none of which sound good.
