It's absolutely hilarious, for me as a European the first image that comes to mind when i hear crackpipe is some skeletal looking white dude with half his teeth missing jittering in a bush somewhere.
really shows how internalized racism is for them, and it's sad - rather than try and use Lemmy to break that pattern they just move it over from reddit...
I'm from the US and have never heard crackpipe used as a racial term...certainly doesn't immediately bring black people to mind.
Are you trolling? If you think of a white person, why would an American, with an entirely different set of experiences and culture not think of something else? How is acknowledging an atrocity by our own government against poor blacks a bad thing? Is the goal of this project to have people use it? If so, they should reconsider the name.
Ok? acknowledge it to yourself all you want, don't impose it on others who have nothing to do with it, and ESPECIALLY do not try to guilt trip them, what do you not understand?
It's this kind of shit that killed reddit, assholes just scanning their feeds all day long trying to find some word or sentence they might find offensive hoping someone else will care too and join their "grand crusade".
Meanwhile actual content got drowned out in the noise.
Like holy fuck this thread is a prime example of this, instead of discussing the featureset, functionalities or tips&tricks it turned into a shitty ass redditlike offtopic racism rant arena.
Reddit isnt dead, and what "killed" it was API changes and a greedy CEO. Astounding that you think "Hey this name could be offensive in a large english speaking market" is a crusade when it is in fact a discussion about the actual content lol.
Dude, We're trying to be helpful. Calling your program CrackPipe is just going to smother it in the crib. Words and phrases have connotations and associations. We're just saying that naming your program this particular name is going to turn people off to it before they even see what it is. I know, I've seen it happen. It's literally happening right now.
Even as an american, my mind went to cracked (as in /c/crackwatch, cracked games, etc) as the piracy term, and pipe, as in pipeline (like newpipe, etc)
