    Private Key Management System (certificates)? Might want to find a better acronym because PKMS had been around for ages.

      I get your point, but out of the top 5 results on DDG, 2 of them are this usage, 2 are schools, and 1 is something totally different. None of them are the cryptography usage. Also, OP didn’t pick the acronym. A very brief glance into Wikipedia shows the acronym PKM going back about 15 years and KM about 25 years. Some sites seem to use PKM system while others use PKMS. I’m not sure when PKMS specifically was first used. Regardless, it’s not something new that OP just randomly picked.

        Also, the name for this community (which I did not create and which I am not a mod of) is

        Personal Knowledge Management Systems (PKMS)

        Thanks for backing me up :)

      I definitely did not make this acronym and I am not sure how I’d go about taking your advice besides making an entirely new community that I have to moderate, further splitting this community where people rarely post. Maybe making a separate post asking about better names for it? Unfortunately sometimes acronym name collisions happen, and I bet whatever people choose, inevitably some field will have an acronym with the same letters that has been around for longer.

          They can’t magically change the acronym people use.

          I am not the one with an issue with the acronym. I am just a nobody trying to be polite to the person who made the comment, especially since I am really not in a position to fix their problem. It feels really weird to have something as call-out-y as “excuses but no solutions” said to me as if I’m personally responsible for the concept of Personal Knowledge Management. I like it and I post stuff about it on the Fediverse. I’m not some big authority about it.

          And finally, my biggest reason not to is that I don’t personally believe the acronym needs to change, so I’m not going to begin to make an effort to get it done. I don’t have any investment in accomplishing that change. The commenter who pointed it out is welcome to take steps towards making it happen. I said what I said because I thought that would be a better and friendlier reply than a politer version of “lol idc about this”, while still being my honest thoughts on the matter.
