I hate the name Lemmy, there, I said it .. as much as I hated the name Google+
I'm a huge motorhead fan. The name is a not insignificant part of why I chose this as a reddit alternative over the others
I just think it ultimately sounds like a lousy c-grade 3rd party app. Then again, Mastodon isn't much better. At least Reddit is basically witty.
Lemmy tell you why I like the name...
Three whole syllables is a bold move for mastodon
