In the migration to lemmy, this community's admins have the chance to drop its startlingly racist name. Wasn't funny back then, and it's still not funny.

Why keep the nazi memorabilia around?

The name is funny though, but if you don't like it make a new magazine with a better name and put up better content so people switch over.

I didn't even know someone had started one with the same name until this post.

God that's an insufferable take, "if you don't like it, leave without saying anything"? This is one post. A single one! I think speaking my mind is ok, and clearly some folks agree with me here. I think it's a worthy discussion.

"Ignore and make your own" is honestly the most naive and spineless thing you can say. Imagine acting on that principle IRL, for instance, when people you consider your friends say or do something vile.

I really can't agree that the name is funny. It affiliates everyone who wants to gather and talk about PCs with so-called "race scientists" who genocide in the name of a so-called "master race". Can't imagine wanting to associate with that, but its horrifying that people think it's politically neutral to do so.
