What are we?

What do Lemmy users call themselves? What do Kbin users call themselves? What about Mast?

So far I can't come up with anything better than "Fediziens"

For people on sh.itjust.works it would be shitters

Lemmings, most commonly used, or at least the majority thought it was appropriate.

For KBin... probably beans, lol 🤣.

My best shot has been "Lemmings". Also I, personally, hate "Fedizens" so let's hope that one doesn't catch on.

@maxp3434

That doesn't allude to the website specifically ... sounds like I'm declaring myself a furry or something XD

But I guess that's the best we have ... and it's not even Kbin specifically ... Kreaders? Biners? UGH

It also kind of depends what instance you're on.

Lemmings, binnies, and dons. I declare it here and now

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

@Eddie

I can live with Binnie .... That's been the only one so far

Does there need to be a name? I get that people want to identify as something, but this platform doesn't seem to need or want a single term to describe all of us.

Feds would be fun but that’s kind of taken

@EpicFailGuy The question was coming up often enough I made a board for itm, though the second I made it the question stopped coming up. @namethefediverse

In experience i've seen kbinauts, kbinners, and kbinators for Kbin. Lemmings and lemmies is the favored for Lemmy. fedizen for fediverse users.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

@EpicFailGuy In general, fedizens

For particular platform, either Lemmings, Kbinauts, or Tooters

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Lemmings. I like fedizens too
