It sounds way less offensive to those who decry the original terminology's problematic roots but still keeps its meaning intact.

It makes sense because "master copy" is the name of the "official" version of something. Nothing to do with slavery by the way.

It’s already not the master copy if you have release branches or tags, but it is the “main” branch 🤪

But "Main" is more clear, and putting in extra effort to basically just piss off politically (over)correct people doesn't make any sense, and is kinda weird tbh

A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics
    • 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    • 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    • 3.3) Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct
