Hello PCMR community!

On July 13th, we asked the community for your opinion if you would like to change the name of this community.

Results of the Survey :

  • Yes - 28.1%
  • No - 71.9% (winner)

Of the 1,201 responses received, we as a community have democratically decided that we should not change the name from PC Master Race. I am grateful to our community for your input, as this was a difficult topic to navigate together.

If you would like to review the history of this, please check out this post here: https://lemmy.world/post/1430610

We’ll pin this post for some time and then consider adding a bullet into the sidebar for this Community to help stave off further discussions around this topic as the community has already decided collectively.

Kind regards,

The Moderator Team

EDIT 30-Aug-2023:

Due to some of the recent targeted attacks against Lemmy.world, I noticed that the image I shared with this post was purged from their servers.

Here’s a new screenshot of the results for posterity: https://i.postimg.cc/jqNg5gWx/pcmrsurvey.png

    What should you do if you are unhappy with the results of this survey?

    • I understand you are disappointed. This is how democratic decisions work, and is the reality of the situation.
    • My opinion here is for you to take a moment to look inward and decide for yourself how you want to proceed.
    • If the name of this community bothers you, my recommendation is to do the only thing you can do as a person: make a choice and opt out.
    • There are other communities you can join and collaborate in. You can always spin up a new community in the Fediverse, on any instance out there, and create new content to attract users.
    • However, if you are okay with accepting that the name of this community will not change, stay with us. We’d love to have you here.

    Final notes to remember:

    • We are all gamers. We are all united by our varying levels of PC enthusiasm. Let’s stay united in our hobbies, rather than allowing ourselves to become divided. Seems like these days there is so much division all across the world, all across social media, in our news, etc.
    • For all the evils out there in the world, this is a safe place for us.
    • Every person on this planet out there has a different opinion. Remember to be kind to others, even when no one is watching you.
