Michael Parenti's Inventing Reality: The Politics of News Media has always been better than Manufacturing Consent. Maybe to honor Parenti it might be a better name for c/ManufacturingConsent , and not after Chomsky? On Chomsky is also a fantastic read for why the left should reject him.

Sure can do. I changed the heading name but not the rest, so I think the link stays c/ManufacturingConsent unless someone can tell me how to change that

@dessalines@lemmy.ml, is this possible? I hope it's not too forward to ping you, I just want to see Chomsky references gone for good.

[-] dessalines@lemmy.ml 4 points 2 hours ago

geneva got it.

Good idea BTW.

[-] Calfpupa@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 hours ago

So there isn't a way for an admin to fully change the link naming? I feel like I remember this explained before, something like it breaks federating linkage of something?

[-] dessalines@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 hours ago

You can't change the names of communities or users for federation reasons, so the links stay that way, but the display name of the community can be anything.

Thank you for your wonderful work and explanation!

c/ManufacturingConsent will remain the name officially, but not the display.

Thanks for reposting my comment so geneva can see! A shame they blocked me, but I'd rather the change go through.
