So basically you're doing all this for the lulz of confusing and pissing off people and don't really want anyone to actually use the software?

An existing alternative to systemd is called upstart. Three of the most popular VCSs are called git, mercurial, and subversion. A major open-source image manipulation program is known as The GIMP. A popular email client among a certain crowd is mutt. less is more, we snort our networks, and manage our VMs with a vagrant. We compile our mission-critical code with a gnat, use browsers written by organizations named after radioactive lizards and an infant noise, write menu-driven applications with curses, and Uglify our JavaScript.

And you're worried about somebody calling their own project "uselessd"?

Humorous names aren't exactly new to free software.
