I Iike both slrpnk and blahaj but it's not like their domain names are magically not also part of this alphabet soup they're talking about.
It's... kinda the point of federation and decentralization.
Sure, Reddit or Facebook have brand recognition, they're also centralized corpo garbage.

If a blahaj user wants to share a SJW post, but finds the sjw domain untasteful, they can also just share their instance's URL for said post.

lol I hadn't seen the acronymized instance name. was the fact that it's sjw intentional?

I was there all those years ago...

The owner had the domain itjust.works, and was in some large thread asking what subdomain they should use, and some genius said "sh".

Yeah I recall the thread. There were quite a few suggestions none of which I can remember now. Sh was just so good.
