can we not name magazines like reddit and make them better?
examples:
foodporn => goodfood
earthporn => BreathtakingLandscapes
trees => weed
....

I think you are over conflating "reddit-isms" and "internet-isms". Reddit is where stuff like this has been most prominent for a while - but the whole funny naming thing has been around since the birth of the internet.

Since the birth of languages, I'm pretty sure. Young people coming up with new slang that their parents generation doesn't understand has probably been around since people were inventing words.

Calling weed "trees" has been around a lot longer than the internet so I don't think you'll make that go away.

I think the "-porn" suffix is part of the internet vernacular now. We'll probably be calling porn pornporn at some point. We're stuck with it just like we're stuck with "-gate"

Yeah, I always thought that was just a wider internet thing. Like an instagram hashtag or something. At least it's better than "food terrorism" which is what they call it in japanese.

yeah because when you send pictures of amazing food to your friends you're terrorizing them
