I LIKE TO MOVE IT MOVE IT

23 янв. 2025 г., 23:10·Публичный

@fionag11 @docpop In all seriousness, though, I wish the word "purposefully" wasn't such a mouthful. Doesn't really work as a motto, phonetically. Imagine shouting it in a crowd of protesters. Nah.

This seems to be a pattern with us, though. "Fediverse" comes to mind.

@drq @fionag11 I get it, I have the same concerns too and I think I mentioned them in the blog post. “slow” was the first thing that came to mind, but sounded like a negative attribution to me. To me it sounded like “doing the right thing slows down your productivity“.

Eight years later and I’m still frustrated i couldn’t find a shorter word that I liked.

@docpop Just throwing at the wall:

- Wisely
- Smartly (may be a good candidate, as in moves in a game, of chess for example)
- Sharply
- Calmly
- Firmly
- Safely
- Soundly
- Canny (hmm)
- Astutely (bad, 3 syllables, but I like the word itself)
- Argutely (yes, that's a word)
- (Take) care
- (Make) sense
- (Be) Smart

... and fix things

Will add more if something else comes to mind.

@docpop Steady. The word we're looking for is "steady".

@drq that's good, but I still prefer purposefully. Maybe because I got used to it, but it still seems to have a sense of progress associated with it, rather than being a neutral term.

> doing the right thing slows down your productivity

(to be honest, it does. partly because it's hard to determine what *is* the right thing. that's the reason why democracy is so slow, for example. everybody'd have done the right thing, if it was quick and easy. that's the tragedy of our situation on this planet. but that would be saying the quiet part out loud.)
