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?

Nullheads, zeronauts, diverrs?

Dunno, not creative

I think the first two are... well they got more flair, more pizzazz than my suggestions!

Maybe you could ... go from diverrs to like... webdivers, or some flaired up spelling of that?

More of an old school / stereotypical cyberpunk way of saying you're doing a big deep dive into the net to find useful info, webdivers or netdivers.

I did say i'm not creative :) I like db0's m@tey personally. Your suggestions aren't bad, either

Thanks haha.

Always remember:

Sucking at something is the first step toward being kinda good at something.

Thanks :D (i dont know if you saw my other comment, i was replying to someone else but i got confused sorry lol)

I did, and seeing as it didn't make much sense contextually, assumed as much, lol.

The... cascading/branching comment thing... is better than a pure, one after another forum structure, but it does have complications.
