I am also partial to "lemmings"

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.

Personally, I’m partial to fedizen.

me, too

[–] Pk_thunder@lemmy.ml 13 points 2 years ago

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

[–] communist@beehaw.org 8 points 2 years ago

Fedditors has my upvote

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.

[–] kommanditbolag@lemmy.ml 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? 🤔

[–] ruud@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Yes and all these replies make a lemontree..

[–] SuitedUpDev@feddit.nl 1 points 2 years ago

And what do we do with that lemontree?

[–] alehc@lemmy.ml 11 points 2 years ago

I have to go with lemmurs :)

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

Lemmiwinks should be the mascot

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, @Pk_thunder@lemmy.ml with Lemmings has my vote.

@BrooklynMan@lemmy.ml also good with fedizen. I actually think that's really even better.

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.

[–] interolivary@beehaw.org 7 points 2 years ago

The media will use it to ridicule us.

Oh no!

[–] Monkeyhog@lemmy.world -2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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.

[–] tetris11@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

They control the narrative to who we are to the outside world. Likening ourselves to mindless Lemmings, does no one any favours. It just takes one incident to kill a movement. Remember the dog-walking fiasco?

[–] Illecors@lemmy.cafe 3 points 2 years ago

Lemmymap calls it lemmies. I quite like that.
