sh.itjust.works Main Community

Eh, I chose this instance because it was one of the top 5 or so, not because of the name. I would probably hesitate to share a link from this instance, but honestly, I don't do that anyway, I generally just share links to actual articles linked here.

So for me, it's really a non-issue. I have much larger concerns about how Lemmy works in general than naming of any one site, such as the one mentioned in the OP (no indication from domain name that it's a Lemmy instance, one instance lagging on updates can break when viewed from other instances, etc). So to me, it's going to stay niche because the user experience kind of sucks.

I'm so used to tech and Linux stuff that I first thought that it was a special interest instance for shell scripting and TUIs. Now, it's a toss up between "shit just works" and "sh! It just works".

As a new person to lemmy and the fediverse concept as a whole, when I was looking for an instance to join it was the unique URL that drew me here. And the fact it's run by a fellow wargoose. I can see why people would dislike the URL though. So far I like it here and hope it doesn't change.

sh.itjust.works is my fav instance domain name too 😅

The anti-gtld propaganda is spicy hot lately, anything non-.com is a keyboard rage trigger.

"I can't link this, it doesn't fit within my corporate values!"

Yeah that's why I'm here. The name makes this place much more difficult for corpo scum to infest it.

I thought it was for shell script aficionados.

Could build a reverse proxy to mask Lemmy links behind something that seems more legit

You can link from almost any other instance. This is a skill issue.

Chose the instance because of it being the first one that I found that wasn't overwhelmed by new sign-ups of refugees from the sub place. Stay because of the name.

What's the polite way to call someone a lil bitch. Genuinely curious because I wanna be PC but also an asshole. Anyway the creature in the post is a lil bitch ass

As someone who works with a marketing department for a living, please don’t ruin this with marketing.
