Has bad branding ever turned you off from software, FOSS or not? (lemmy.world)

I'll start: while looking at app theming I came across WallRizz, renamed from WallWiz. I haven't tried it, and looking at it documentation it seems well made, but I cringe at the name and the AI-generated penguin logo. It shares the art style of all the other AI slop, its basically italian brainrot but 2D. WallWiz sounds way better, rizz sounds like it was specially designed for gen alpha (little kids). If there are apps of even similar quality, why would I use this one?

Same. And they choose those names to filter out people on purpose

Where did you get this from?

Do you know the username and domains of the person who created conduwuit?

Yes? June's personal stuff isn't your business, and she left open source because of people like you

Good, they didn't seem like a nice person to deal with

Apparently they succeeded. :) Do they explain somewhere?

I don't have a problem with that, but it does seem strange that they would continually submit their project for inclusion in the weekly Matrix announcements while at the same time trying to discourage the general public from using it.
