i have this impression that on Fedi i see a lot fewer plural systems called "the [noun phrase] system" and a lot more going by name-shaped names, if that makes sense? (To be clear, by name-shaped i also count things like like serial numbers etc.)

Compared to like, author names for resources on plurality. There it feels like every author is called "[name] of the [noun phrase] system". Though i can absolutely think of counterexamples either direction so who knows if this is a real pattern or not.

You know what, poll time! What kind of name does your system have?

By "the X system" i include synonyms, so "the Rainbow Collective" or "the Arson Gang" or "the Assembly of Pieces" would be included.

By "name-shaped" i mean the kind of name that a singleton in your peer group could have as their given or chosen name. This would include serial number style designations (if your friend group is beepy) or names that are not on a government-approved list but a singleton could choose them for themselves (like usernames/nicks/handles). Surnames count if you would address peers with their surname too.

If multiple options apply, please pick the option that you like the best or your closest friends use the most. If you haven't come up with a name yet, but do want to have a system name, pick the option that sounds most appealing. And in case of further doubts, don't worry too much about it and pick whatever option feels best for you.

@anya kinda both for us
aperture could refer to specifically the fronter or vaguely all of us and we consider the phrase "the aperture system" to be an important distinction from saying just "aperture" plus i personally have a lot more connection to the name aperture than the rest of the system, so it's much more likely i will call just myself aperture

so, it's complicated hvxgjnvxbnbx
