    It’s nice to see open-source things copying what dot-coms do when they’re bored.

    Wait. No it’s not. It’s actually worrying.

    I worked for a company named essentially “The Portland Office”, and it had that name for 30 years; because, honestly, who cares about a name? The product should stand out.

      Even if you can objectively see the name as just a name, many people sadly can’t. It is really difficult to recommend others to join, just because they come with the idea that it’s a minecraft clone and since it’s not a clone it feels janky.

      I’m glad they dropped the name for something new.
