Lemmings

[-] Hjalamanger@feddit.nu 20 points 4 months ago

I think lemmings is the used term. But judging by the logo we're mice

[-] nokturne213@sopuli.xyz 17 points 4 months ago

Or maybe it is a lemming.

[-] Zozano@aussie.zone 6 points 4 months ago

It looks like it wants to sell single cigarettes to middle schoolers.

[-] nokturne213@sopuli.xyz 2 points 4 months ago

The Jay Mewes of the rodent world.

[-] edgemaster72@lemmy.world 18 points 4 months ago

Linux users :P

[-] Zozano@aussie.zone 4 points 4 months ago

What you are referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.

Depending on the person, either Lemmings, Lemmies, or Lemurs, and subreddits are Burrows.

[-] l_b_i@yiffit.net 5 points 4 months ago

If I get a vote, I vote Lemurs.

[-] KISSmyOSFeddit@lemmy.world 6 points 4 months ago

You get a vote, but you don't live in a swing state.

[-] l_b_i@yiffit.net 2 points 4 months ago

So many ads as the election gets close, a few have started already. Not looking forward to it.

Lemurs

[-] Zorque@kbin.social 3 points 4 months ago

Leap! Leap!

[-] stelelor@lemmy.ca 2 points 4 months ago

A Zoboomafoo fan in the wild?!

Lemmings

[-] originalucifer@moist.catsweat.com 7 points 4 months ago

with the federated nature of the verse, do we need a name for a single contributing platforms users?.. maybe.

you have kids using only 'apps' who barely know what the lemmy platform does, because all they know is the app theyre using.... you could have magazines that have zero lemmy users contributing, because the content and its users are interacting from different, compatible fediverse platforms.

it gets somewhat muddy

ive been noodling on what we should call users of the fediverse as a whole

[-] tal@lemmy.today 8 points 4 months ago

I see some use of "Fedizen".

I'd like to have a term for someone using specifically the "Reddit-alike" Fediverse platforms, like kbin, mbin, lemmy, etc. "Threadiverse" has been used for that, but searching, don't think that "threadizen" has been used for that.

[-] originalucifer@moist.catsweat.com 3 points 4 months ago

well, i wouldnt aggregate the 'bins as threadiverse-only like lemmy. I chose mbin specifically because its intent is to provide both the threadiverse and twitterverse(?/microblog) interactivity, natively.

granted, the microblog portion is still a bit clunky, it is in development.. but the 'bins do not need some of the 'bridging' that the lemmy platform requires

[-] tal@lemmy.today 1 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

specifically because its intent is to provide both the threadiverse and twitterverse(?/microblog) interactivity, natively.

Well, yeah, but in the context of collectively talking about people who use communities (or as kbin puts it, magazines), it'd be the "Reddit-alike" functionality, rather than the "Twitter-alike".

I mean, I might also use IRC, and someone could even add support for IRC to one of the software packages, but then I'd be both an IRC user and a Reddit-alike user, even though I use both.

EDIT: Though that does kind of raise the question of whether there should be a generic for the "Twitter-alike" microblog environment. "Mastodon" is just one Fediverse microblogging package.

How about just Feds? I have to admit that would amuse me somewhat.

We're literally the Feds.

[-] Sabata11792@kbin.social 1 points 4 months ago

The name glows too brightly for my taste.

[-] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

I like that one.

[-] KillerTofu@lemmy.world 6 points 4 months ago

Noodles it is then.

[-] Empricorn@feddit.nl 2 points 4 months ago

Moodles.

[-] tal@lemmy.today 3 points 4 months ago

I believe that that's what the video game Project Zomboid uses to refer to the icons shown onscreen to show character mood.

kagis

Yup.

[-] Empricorn@feddit.nl 1 points 4 months ago

Huh. TIL...

[-] KISSmyOSFeddit@lemmy.world 4 points 4 months ago

feds

[-] originalucifer@moist.catsweat.com 2 points 4 months ago

feds already has a largely negative connotation... for brittany especially.

[-] rickyrigatoni@lemm.ee 5 points 4 months ago

Lemguinis

[-] Servais@dormi.zone 4 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

I heard lemmings and lemmies, usually people just use "y'all"

[-] nucleative@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago

I wish we could reconsider the name "Lemmy" to begin with

[-] kat_angstrom@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago

Lemmerites

[-] darkphotonstudio@beehaw.org 2 points 4 months ago

Kilmisters.

[-] VinesNFluff@pawb.social 2 points 4 months ago

Lemons 🍋

[-] DemBoSain@midwest.social 2 points 4 months ago

Keeping with the spirit of the Fediverse, maybe every instance should have their own.

[-] ZDL@ttrpg.network 2 points 4 months ago

I thought it was Motörheads?

[-] Resol@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

Lemminos.
