And I'm still not comfortable calling my fellow Lemmy people "Lemmings."
up until this point in history, calling someone a lemming has kinda been an insult.
I'm cool with it. Because it gives me a chance to correct folk's false assumptions about lemmings.
Im not a fan either. I have been a reddit user for several years before I came here but always avoided the lingo wherever possible.
Let’s leave it over there, with all the other painfully unfunny in-jokes and dead references
Well, calling someone a redditor can also be perceived as insulting so maybe they can both serve a similar function.
