I fully embrace the lemmings thing lol. Definitely an afterthought, but someone remarked about how redditors always think they're especially unique freethinkers, and call everyone else "mindless drones", when they go along 100% with US foreign policy.

We might as well embrace lemmings here as an ironic joke (especially because lemmings don't actually walk off cliffs, that's anti-lemming propaganda).

Me, personally, would only do that if I were pushed by a Disney producer. (true story)

[–] lucien@beehaw.org 3 points 2 years ago

My fave. Self-deprecating and fits the name well.

[–] quizno50@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 years ago

As a kid of the 90s who grew up playing a wonderful video game of the same name. I fully endorse Lemmings =)

I hope lemmings sticks. It's cute. It pokes fun at ourselves. It's great.

Anything fediverse related has my vote. Lemmy is bigger than just Lemmy, after all. Another thread about this had fedittor, fedinauts, fedis, fedizens, threaditor and more. Personally, I'm partial to fedizen.

EDIT: Fedditor is also pretty good. Says where we came from and where we are.

me, too

[–] Pk_thunder@lemmy.ml 9 points 2 years ago

Yeah Fedditor is really good like a triple pun, fed up, reddit, and federated

I don't think fedinaut is a particularly good-sounding general term, but I am going to insist to personally called a fedinaut by all three people that will ever have a reason to call me so.

[–] kommanditbolag@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago

I want to be called a fedinaught then, just to shake things up.

[–] communist@beehaw.org 4 points 2 years ago

Fedditors has my upvote

I’d lean into the whole Lemmy thing and call them roadies.

[–] Mir@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 years ago

Lemmiwinks should be the mascot

[–] Xylight@lemmy.xylight.dev 2 points 2 years ago
