I got distracted from my work so I made some Continuwuity propaganda. Continuwuity is a lightweights Matrix chat server that you can self-host pretty easily. Give it a try :3

    Well, it startend with conduit. That was a respectable name. The development slowed down and someone wasnt happy abput not getting pr merged. Then it got forked to conduwuit.

    Speed picked back up. There was later a massive meltdown for some reason. To successors emerged continuwuity and tuwunel.

      There’s almost always a backstory for why the makers choose the name they did, but that doesn’t change the harmful result. A bad name seriously limits how much the software will ever get adopted. Heck, if there was a FOSS project i cared about enough then i would fork it and keep everything the same except give it a more palatable name.

        If the fucking name of a project is the reason you won’t use it, then by all means, don’t. We’re not missing you.

          Myopic take. Generally projects are healthier when they have a larger userbase
