Recently I wanted to refer to the general populace of the divisions by zero, but it occurred to me we don't have a good shorthand for it,. I.e. like one talks about "lemmings" or "redditors". We could use something for members of lemmy.dbzer0.com.

Ideas?

How about b@ts, as in "bats" referring to many things, among them:

  • Landstreicher's translation of Stirner's "bats in the belfry" expression
  • "Bats," referring to the expression of insanity for our neurodiverse and other friends
  • Bats, the animals, live in dark caves and only come out at night (pejorative for us being internet nerds)
  • It uses the @ symbol and fits all of your criteria
  • Bats are cool
