I am also partial to "lemmings"

I fully embrace the lemmings thing lol. Definitely an afterthought, but someone remarked about how redditors always think they're especially unique freethinkers, and call everyone else "mindless drones", when they go along 100% with US foreign policy.

We might as well embrace lemmings here as an ironic joke (especially because lemmings don't actually walk off cliffs, that's anti-lemming propaganda).

anti-lemming propaganda

Those damn meerkats, spreading fake news

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 years ago

We are the fellow Lemmings of the Lemmy cult

Me, personally, would only do that if I were pushed by a Disney producer. (true story)

I hope lemmings sticks. It's cure. It pokes fun at ourselves. It's great.

As a kid of the 90s who grew up playing a wonderful video game of the same name. I fully endorse Lemmings =)

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

My fave. Self-deprecating and fits the name well.

Anything fediverse related has my vote. Lemmy is bigger than just Lemmy, after all. Another thread about this had fedittor, fedinauts, fedis, fedizens, threaditor and more. Personally, I'm partial to fedizen.

EDIT: Fedditor is also pretty good. Says where we came from and where we are.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 2 years ago

Yeah Fedditor is really good like a triple pun, fed up, reddit, and federated

[–] [email protected] 13 points 2 years ago

Personally, I’m partial to fedizen.

me, too

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 years ago

Fedditors has my upvote

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I don't think fedinaut is a particularly good-sounding general term, but I am going to insist to personally called a fedinaut by all three people that will ever have a reason to call me so.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

I want to be called a fedinaught then, just to shake things up.

When life gives you lemons, you make Lemmy? 🤔

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

Yes and all these replies make a lemontree..

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago
[–] [email protected] 13 points 2 years ago

I have to go with lemmurs :)

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 years ago
[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 years ago

I’d lean into the whole Lemmy thing and call them roadies.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 years ago

Motörheads

[–] TrashcanMarxist 6 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

Or we could call each other... Friend.

Comrade.

By name?

What's the need for the special secret handshake? I really think that's one of the silliest things of reddit culture that would be great to just leave as we switch over to here.

Let's not gatekeep but instead meet each other in friendship and non-toxcicity.

If we have to have a special name though, @[email protected] with Lemmings has my vote.

@[email protected] also good with fedizen. I actually think that's really even better.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Lemmings

The media will use it to ridicule us.

Fedizen

I like the idea of it. I'll probablyy shorten it to "hey fez" as a way of referring to both a singular person and a group.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 years ago

The media will use it to ridicule us.

Oh no!

[–] [email protected] -3 points 2 years ago

Why in the living fuck should anyone care about "ridicule" what kind of weak-ass cowardly bullshit is this? Fuck the media and fuck you for being so fucking sensitive.

Lemmymap calls it lemmies. I quite like that.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

Lemmiwinks should be the mascot
