We are the Federati

My guess is that each platform will have its own smaller names applied to it (e.g. kbinners, lemmites, etc.) and each variant will be interchangeable, then as things settle down and the dust clears, there would be a more common, less "exclusive" name like "posters" as someone mentioned. The email comparison comes to mind, we don't go around calling each other "gmailers" or "outlookers", but addresses or emails.

kbinauts is what I see

We're humans. Let's embrace that instead of trying to label in- and outgroups ๐Ÿ˜Š

[-] Infiltrated_ad8271@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

I agree with this Kbinmate kbinner.

[-] Ragnell@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

Federati, Fedizens for general Fediverse, which includes Mastodon, Pixelfed, Calckey, Lemmy....etc... Lemmings for Lemmy users, Kbinauts for Kbin users.

I suggest Threadites (pronounced as rhyming with Deadites) as collective for Lemmy, Kbin, Beehaw and whatever other Fediverse Forum programs join the Threadiverse.

What about those who post here (and to Lemmy) from Mastodon? Or from Calckey or Bookwyrm?
Maybe we don't need to adopt Reddit culture at all? surprisedpikachu.jpg

Listen, as nerds we need a classification system.

[-] Odusei@kbin.social 3 points 2 years ago

Demonyms are way older than reddit. It's not "reddit culture" to come up with a name for the users of a social media site, it's a practice that long predates reddit.

[-] quirzle@kbin.social 0 points 2 years ago

What are users of old school forums called? Or myspace? Facebook? 4chan? I'm actually struggling to come up with a single similar forum or social media site that insisted on using a stupid cutesy nickname like reddit did; can you help me out here?

[-] Odusei@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

4channer was used a lot, same with farkers, and b3tards (not great to look back on).

[-] Nougat@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

"Diggers" was one.

Actually quite like Fedditors. Acknowledges where most of us came from, while being something different. Can also be interpreted as 'feck-reddit-ors'. Is good.

Kbitch/kbitches

[-] VulcanSphere@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

Vulcan prefers Kbinauts (even with the bird logo)

[-] xc2215x@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

Yeah we are Kbinners.

[-] mrbubblesort@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

Coming up with a name is pretty nerdy to be honest. Might as well go full nerd and call us Star Fleet because we're a part of the Federation

[-] Flag@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

Thats.... not bad tbh! Ha.

[-] rasterweb@kbin.social 0 points 2 years ago

Threaditarians. Threadites. Threaditors.

No shade to lemmy instances, but definitely not Lemmites. There's an unhealthy trend right now to reduce the fediverse to just Lemmy (and lemmy.world, more specifically) that we should not encourage.

[-] starlinguk@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

I can't even see half the posts when I'm on a Lemmy instance. Kbin is the best one if you want to see everything.
