Uh do you not know what "lingua franca" means or are you making a joke?

Close. It's flea market.

Swede here, see no issue with the name. I'll just ignore the h when pronouncing though.

I don't disagree conceptually, but English has been the lingua franca for a long time now.

I can't understand why every other fediverse name is so stupid as to be off putting to the average user.

That's not an issue for brands. German and Chinese brands are just doing fine everywhere with the possible exception of the two countries in the world where people are not exposed to other languages.

Yep. It’s kind of annoying when people see everything through an “english” lense and assume anything that isn’t made to work for english speakers won’t work…

The latter. Though given the downvotes, I think people are either not smart enough to get it, or too smart and think I don't get it.

You just said what everyone thinks when they hear 'lingua franca' for the first time.

Not enough umlauts to count as easy.
