[Meta] How is this community different from ProgrammerHumour? (programming.dev)

Both seem to post similar memes and jokes. This community doesn't have a sidebar text to clarify what the community is nor when to post what stuff where, and it's not clear why the community exists.

I could tell you how I would like it to be, but it's probably not what others think. I find most of programmerhumor not funny.

To me, iiiitttt - and the short description fits it to some degree - should be about ridiculous stuff in IT. Be it ridiculous programs, behaviors, or users.

Programmerhumor seems like it could be something different. Or not. Joke languages, silly experiments and demonstrations like extra bad UI, or jokes (opposed to real occurrences).

🤷‍♀️

/edit: Also, sidenote, I dislike this community's name - purely because it's not memorable nor easily writable.

The name is a holdover from its reddit origin as a spinoff of the rage comic subreddit fffffffuuuuuuuuuuuu, which was condensed to f7u12 (which means the helpful shorthand here is I7T12, which is also not especially memorable, but is better then the alternative.).

Considering the lack of rage comics about IT here, I'd say its strayed far enough from its path that the name isn't applicable anymore.
