Judge me. Here are some names I can think of:

  • Connect (or some dumb spelling like connekt because it's trendy)
  • SocCenter (social center)
  • Open Doors (or some variant)

I'm out of ideas.

Connect is pretty generic and used in a million other places. There is no spelling variation unused.

SocCenter is worse then Friendica to my ears.

Open Doors sounds like a suicide prevention group.

Maybe it needs an acronym of some sort instead...

I may be weird, but I like Friendica.

Friend + Ica

Friends, friendly

Like erotica, but friendly.

"Erotica with Friends" may pigeonhole it a bit. It'll become every other "friend" making app full of dick pics.

Let's just call it Make Important Life Friends and leave it as an acronym.

You're supposed to pronounce it "May kill if"

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

Mmmmm.... SoakCenter.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 10 months ago (1 children)

SocCenter sounds like sock center, your application of choice for everything socks

How about Boat4Sale? I mean realistically in 5 years or less that's what most socials devolve into anyway....
