"Klan" is problematic (to say the least), can you pick a new term that doesn't immediately give people the wrong impression of this app?

Seriously, who the heck came up with "Klans" as a descriptor for various subs/groups/whatever?

I think the devs are from India. They most likely wouldn't immediately know why that's a problem. Hopefully, we can get a good fix quickly. Any suggestions? I like communities.

Communities or Clubs or anything else would be fine. Heck, even "Clan" with a C would be better. Seeing it spelled out with a K makes me concerned that the place will be overtaken by alt-right people like Voat was back in the day.

I'm sure it wasn't intentional, but I feel like it's gonna be a non-starter for a lot of potential users.

I mean, we're having a discussion no? This is the beta after all.
