We’re lemmings.
We solved this like a year ago! Though I had completely forgotten what it actually was.
I’m the little dude who lays 3 stairs and then goes boldly forward.
I‘m the one with that rope. A Lemmnja.
I’m the diggy diggy hole lemming
Lemmings is just the best name for us. It's so anti-corporate, you can rest assured not a single PR team would ever greenlight it in the history of PR teams. We don't need a PR team to approve our nickname, we don't want a PR team to approve our nickname, we don't want to have anything to do with whatever a PR team wants.
In case anyone was unsure, lemmings don't even jump off cliffs, that was literally just Disney staff throwing lemmings off cliffs like a bunch of psychopaths.
Lemme lend my fellow lemmings some lemons.
NO! I said months ago I hate this. I still hate this.
You’re better fall in line and jump off this cliff with the rest of us.
Your comment was so applicable to any of my comments that I assumed you were replying to the one where I said I wasn't going to start wearing pants at work.
Less talking. More dropping trou.
So what's your preferred alternative?
I think lemurs like the op said is better. However, I also think the ship has probably already sailed and lemmings is what it is.
Lemminators
We are mostly called "lemmings" here.
Reference: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lemmings_(video_game)
I am more attached to the idea of the fediverse as a whole than to Lemmy.
I think we should all be called "feds."
I'm not so sure of your solution, but as an Mbinner....
Not Feds 🤮
Activity pub
... Activists?
Fediverse
... Versus?
Lemming is the correct answer, but I'll also accept Lemmin' mostly because I'd love for there to be some kind of meet-up, like a Lemmin' Party or something.
Lidiots
It's all about the beans so how about bean... Wait I think that one's already taken.
Get with the times, now it's jeans.
No wait, it's now... Nope, already changed, it's back to beans again, carry on.
I think we're beams now. I keep seeing them everywhere. beans and beams.
There's never been any consensus that I'm aware of. All the suggestions are cringey.
We're just users.
I found this humerus.
We are lemmys.
Lemmies? Lemons? Lemmy Lemons? 🍋
When life gives you lemons......uh.......make linux memes and federate?
Lemmywinks?
Poor mouse.
Redditors but with extra steps
don’t you dare compare us with those R-words!
Do we need a name? Most social networks don't have a special name for their users.
An interesting comment from when this was asked a year ago.
Funniest one imo is Lemmegians (as in Norwegians). Not a very practical name though.
