Communities. They're called communities.
Yeah, but how to shorten it??
Comms?
moons
Short for 'munities.
They orbit the central world of the instance.
I can dig it.
Digg was two sites ago...try to keep up.
Web 2.0 was a mistake.
Muns
Mลซns, if anyone asks for clarification.
Phone starts vibrating ..... that's no moon
I love this, gonna start calling them that.
Commies, even
Isn't the short form of communist just "socialist"?
No, no, the short form of communist is Lenin, he was about 5'4.
Oh that makes more sense. Thanks for the correction
All communists are socialists but not all socialists are communists, it is a broader term.
Socialism โ Communism.
Yup. I was joking. Making fun of the right wing who pretty much use the terms interchangeably
Just 'c'.
I shall hereby always refer to them as /c/'s then.
You don't. We live in the wonderful age of keyboard predictions where you type. Comm and community and communities both pop up as options. You'd have to take extra steps to get it any shorter.
Unless, like anyone with sense, you just type c/ or c/s and have done with it :)
I've been calling them forums
Cums or cummies?
