@kms anything but m?
I'm sure it's mostly an archaic reaction, but I still see "m" as being a mobile optimized site. I know only a few major sites that have this still around, but idk, my brain is just trained to think mobile.

@zebpalmer @kms I missed the polling window but I'm with Zeb -- anything but m. I feel like it's too soon to try to repurpose m. subdomain since it's still in use by some companies to mean mobile optimized site.

@amy @kms lol, after I responded to this I've been noticing all the sites that redirect mobile browsers to m.* And... It's more than I thought.

@zebpalmer @amy another option I am thinking of is the.*

@kms @zebpalmer Hmm, I don't think I'm following that one. Is it short for something?

@kms I’ve seen fedi and social more often than any of the other proposals, but I haven’t been paying attention for very long

@kms social.

Cause mastodon is only one implementation of the protocol. You might wanna switch later.
