Why keep the nazi name for this community (lemmy.world)

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?

That doesn't remove the connotation for larger audiences. A layman will never know those details and will read master race as being about race. The social context and history are irrelevant, it's genuinely a dumb hill to die on.

Human stupidity is infinite, there's no point catering to it.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Race_(human_categorization) "master race" is definitionally about race and the use of that social categorization to commit genocide; the concept of race and so-called "race science" are not really funny tbh

I'm in agreement with you btw lol I think the names dumb, wanting to keep the master race title is the dumb hill to die on.
