Users. I'm boring but stop with the corny reddit nonsense, ugh.

Versers. Or another user suggested Fedinauts.

Both are platform agnostic and bear no resemblance to "Reddit"

When you're going from thread to thread and digging deep into content, we can call that going down a k hole.

This one was actually suggested by Bing Chat. It said "Kbinators: A name that sounds cool and futuristic, and also hints at the idea of combining or aggregating different types of content."

I have seen kbinauts used before. Credit to some guy.

I mentioned to my SO about kbin. Since then she refers to it as Kevin.

I didn't like the term "Redditor" and I don't wanna be called anything based on what website I go to.

For one thing, being called a "Redditor" was typically a negative. It was a dismissive. The "hive mind" and all that. I don't wanna be associated with a "community vibe." I just want to visit an aggregator that doesn't have corporate baggage and an agenda.

My thing is, we're all just people. Using a web service. So that's what I call us. People. On the internet. I don't need or want some tribal moniker. Not here. Not across a decentralized system.

@Cloudless

Here's two off the top of my head based on reddit. Both aren't my favorite, but variety is the spice of life!

  • Federedditors
  • Reddfugees

All these "-nauts" and "-ers/ors" are ridiculous. Herp derp I use a website, Im special!

Bin chickens, the lot of you.

Wherever you are, #kbin, #friendica, #Pixelfed, #bookwyrm, #Calckey, #Lemmy, #mastodon, #hubzilla, #Peertube (and many more), you are all citizens of the #Fediverse.

Some use the word #Fedizens

Not sure if it'll catch on.
