i'd like to argue that a poll held over 7 months ago probably doesn't match what people's opinions on the site name are now. i'm personally indifferent on changing the name, but i'd rather not change it to a (somewhat forced imo) meme that happened to be popular when the sub got banned (i also don't really like the hexbear branding)
Why not keep the branding but just let people buy domain names if they want and do a poll again (since the last one was on a different platform and nine months ago)? The name doesn't have to be the same as the logo
The real point I guess I have been dancing around is why not simply ask for input that we are happy to provide if asked? Whenever this has been brought up in the past I gave the same shpiel about what I think the name should be but it feels like no one listened (I get no one would listen to one user personally but you know what I mean)
I feel like people didn't really take it seriously because before like 3 days ago it didn't seem like it was a set-in-stone decision. If you said "We're renaming the site, you have two weeks to give ideas", people could come up with some really creative stuff. There's 14k people here, I bet at least one of us has an idea that a majority likes.
Literally the last OP saying we should rename the sight I saw before today was a person who said that parents should be randomly selected, like if the discourse happens there no ones gonna take it seriously lol
At the end of the day people just like to feel included in the decision making process :)

What about those who were never on the discord?
Yeah I'm pretty sure the discord interim period had like the least number of posters ever, and very little time to think
