kbinners?
kbinators?
kbinizens?
kbinites?
kbinitors?
Just throwing names at the wall and seeing if something sticks. Thanks.
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.
kbinauts is what I see
Kbinese
@goryramsy I like “Lemmies”, as it reminds me Lemmings.
Or alternative “Kbinaries”.
Someone here in this thread has two extra accounts, who don’t post anything ever and just downvotes others here. Their names are: NodusCursorious, erkerkerk. They mostly downvoted in pair. You can see this if you click at more/activities. Is this cheating the system?
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.
Yeah we are Kbinners.
Kbizzles
Kbinauts
Vulcan prefers Kbinauts (even with the bird logo)
me too
I imagine if the kbin bird gets a name we’d follow along so either, Kibbies/Binks/Kebins?
Beans.
K-beans?
Beanie babes.
From that thread, Fedinauts might be my fave. Relatively instance agnostic and keeps that space age, optimistic federated future vibe going
KTrashcans for the yanks
haha. This is great. I’m aussie, but I’m gonna start calling us KTrashies
I was a fan of Kbinauts, but then the zeitgeist moved super fast once that bird logo got introduced.
Then voting went up for a name for the lil birdie, and surprisingly Kibby came out on top, but alongside Kebin and Bink. The poll for that should still be up over in m/redditmigration I think.
Now that I think about it, I don’t see our name as netizens arising from the name of the mascot, just like how at reddit no one called themselves a derivative of “snoo.”
wait, what’s wrong with kbinauts? I like kbinaut.
I like it too, but somehow kbinners got taken up, kbeans (ugh), and now this bird mascot’s name is being thrown in the mix.
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.
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.
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.
