Should I Change The Name? Community Questions (feddit.online)

Just a thought: I created this community very quickly without giving much thought to the name...basically because I was basing it on the NaNoWriMo2 website.

However, maybe it would be better to break away from the NaNoWriMo branding? I could make it more specific to our corner of the internet. I'm thinking maybe FediWriMo.

Let me know what you think below. Suggest alternate names, and if there is a good one with a lot of up votes, we can maybe go with that one instead (but no Boaty McBoatface type meme names, please...).

Hmmm... Writey McWriteface does have a certain appeal though...

In all seriousness however, NaNoWriMo has name recognition, and I don't think making it fediverse specific will foster mainstream appeal (not that that needs to be the goal ofc). I like the International angle, call it InNoWriMo and have a slogan about being Innovative!, or unleashing your Inner writer!, or Innie belly buttons or something.

    "Writey McWriteface" does have a ring to it... :)

    Yes, NaNoWriMo does have the recognition - which is positive and negative, depending on the perspective of the person that sees it.

    InNoWriMo does make for a bit of a break, expanding on the meaning, while maintaining the recognition of the original. Interesting suggestion.
