I've had multiple users express to me that they would like to see a name change to lose the porn moniker. If it makes people more comfortable then I'm fine with it.
Maybe it's because I used reddit for 3 years but I didn't see anything wrong with "porn" in the name. Probably because pretty much everything had this word in the ~~title~~ name so I had to get used to it haha.
I had been using Reddit since 2011 and didn't see anything wrong with it either. That sub was actually part of the non-porn, porn subs like earthporn, foodporn, humanporn, etc. I just wanted Redditors to be able to find something familiar, but I don't mind changing the name at all. I'm going to make a poll tomorrow to see if there's a general consensus on what the name should be. Someone suggested something descriptive like "Space is Beautiful", which I actually like and it may be better if the community here ever incorporates more discussion in addition to images, but we'll see.
"SpacePics" is better sounding than “Space is Beautiful”, leave it as it is.
“Space is Beautiful” gives me a vibe of a more general space sublemmy than sublemmy focused on pics. Unless you want this sub to be more general, in that case I feel like this name would be better than "SpacePics".
Sounds good and I think you're right about it. I'd rather this sub stay more about sharing images than turn into a full on space discussion page anyway.
