Communities. They're called communities.

[โ€“] DrQuint@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year ago (6 children)

Yeah, but how to shorten it??

Comms?

[โ€“] CeruleanRuin@lemmy.one 28 points 1 year ago (4 children)

moons

Short for 'munities.

They orbit the central world of the instance.

[โ€“] Nemo@midwest.social 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I can dig it.

[โ€“] zdrvr@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Digg was two sites ago...try to keep up.

[โ€“] Nemo@midwest.social 1 points 1 year ago

Web 2.0 was a mistake.

Commies, even

[โ€“] dom@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Isn't the short form of communist just "socialist"?

[โ€“] TrueStoryBob@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

No, no, the short form of communist is Lenin, he was about 5'4.

[โ€“] dom@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 year ago

Oh that makes more sense. Thanks for the correction

[โ€“] ehrenschwan@feddit.de 1 points 1 year ago

All communists are socialists but not all socialists are communists, it is a broader term.

[โ€“] zdrvr@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Socialism โ‰  Communism.

[โ€“] dom@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago

Yup. I was joking. Making fun of the right wing who pretty much use the terms interchangeably

[โ€“] PriorProject@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah, but how to shorten it??

Just 'c'.

[โ€“] DrQuint@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

I shall hereby always refer to them as /c/'s then.

[โ€“] Aninjanameddaryll@outpost.zeuslink.net 4 points 1 year ago

You don't. We live in the wonderful age of keyboard predictions where you type. Comm and community and communities both pop up as options. You'd have to take extra steps to get it any shorter.

Unless, like anyone with sense, you just type c/ or c/s and have done with it :)

I've been calling them forums
