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"

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

Hey there fellow Fedizen!

I've just been calling everyone losers

@EpicFailGuy fedies? pubbers? actpubbers? Gremlems?
I like Gremlems

Aren't we all running on the ActivityPub protocol among all the connected systems of the fediverse?

So shouldn't the collective naming have something to do with either ActivityPub or Fediverse?

Act Pubbers?

FediPubbers?

FABers? (for Fediverse/ActivityPub)?

@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.

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

@Eddie

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

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

Lemmings. I like fedizens too

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

@EpicFailGuy In general, fedizens

For particular platform, either Lemmings, Kbinauts, or Tooters

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

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

For KBin... probably beans, lol 🤣.

Lemmings ? Pretty simple

@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
