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
We are the fellow Lemmings of the Lemmy cult
especially because lemmings don't actually walk off cliffs, that's anti-lemming propaganda
Me, personally, would only do that if I were pushed by a Disney producer. (true story)
I hope lemmings sticks. It's cute. It pokes fun at ourselves. It's great.
My fave. Self-deprecating and fits the name well.
As a kid of the 90s who grew up playing a wonderful video game of the same name. I fully endorse Lemmings =)
Simple, straight to the point and somewhat self-deprecating. I love it.
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.
Yeah Fedditor is really good like a triple pun, fed up, reddit, and federated
Personally, I’m partial to fedizen.
me, too
Fedditors has my upvote
fedizen and related terms are funny in portuguese as "feder" means "to smell bad" in Brazilian. Can't wait to use it with my colleagues.
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.
I want to be called a fedinaught then, just to shake things up.
Fez?
Lemurs
I have to go with lemmurs :)
I’d lean into the whole Lemmy thing and call them roadies.
Motörheads
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.
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.
