Can we get a consensus for the nomenclature of kbin users like “Redditor”? How about “kbinaut”?

@watchdog the current consensus seems to be either kbinaut or kbeans.

@watchdog Is there really anything wrong with 'users'? Especially when half the point of federated instances is that you're going to be interacting with people that aren't on a server called the same thing as yours, nevermind even using the same backend. E.g. fedia.io is called fedia.io, but it's still using kbin. Do they want to be called 'kbinauts'? No one using a Lemmy-based instance is going to refer to themselves as a 'kbinaut'.

Agreed, I'm here through a Lemmy instance called sh.itjust.works
