Comment on Hey. You. Fill in the blank.

It wouldn’t have to be that exact name though. Any H2G2 reference would be cool, like vogon, agrajag or something. But I see what you mean about just creating the same name on a different lemmy instance. I guess that’s an aspect of the fediverse I hadn’t thought about.

For sure! I briefly debated using a different reference, but the explanation works nicely with that example given that it’s already taken at least once.
