Maybe dumb question but should forks be completely renamed? Is prefixing enough?

github.com/c4social/mastodon/i

@weex I guess the prefix is good enough as long as the general feel is similar to upstream. Glitch-soc has the same look and feel as vanilla Mastodon, its various extra features are noticeable to those who are constanty using it, but on first glance it's Mastodon.

@lightone Thanks for bringing up Glitch-soc. They use a concept of flavors in their codebase which seems fitting.

There's not much of a different flavor for this fork at the moment but I guess it'll become obvious that a new name is in order should that time come.
