Noticing some people levying that against people bringing up complaints about their experience here. It's not the spirit which I hope will prevail. Also, lazy cop out in a discussion.

Saw a great post before, not KBiners, KBinauts! :)

[-] Otome-chan@kbin.social 24 points 1 year ago

okay yeah we're going with kbinauts for sure.

[-] wrath-sedan@kbin.social 16 points 1 year ago

I will accept nothing less than kbeans

[-] gus@kbin.social 8 points 1 year ago

I gotta say I have never vibed with kbeans. Sounds like something an elementary school teacher rewards their students with

Also like that kbinaut (and kbinner) keep kbin in the name

[-] Otome-chan@kbin.social 8 points 1 year ago

kbeans and kbinauts are both good to me. kbeans is kinda funny but it may not be obvious the connection to kbin.

[-] wrath-sedan@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

Yeah, kbeans just makes me chuckle every time I hear it. I'm actually pretty ambivalent about what name is used and maybe in the spirit of federation we end up with a handful of names

this has my vote

[-] Wit@kbin.social 6 points 1 year ago

Not to be confused with kerbonauts from KSP ;)
(there's a pun to be made here about the planet Kerbin but I can't think of a good one)

Tbh we are kinda the alien astronauts of the fediverse. Beehaw claimed the bees.

[-] stillnotahero@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

And here I am thinking Beehaw was a play on ‘yeehaw’… yikes

[-] Otome-chan@kbin.social 5 points 1 year ago

It is. Their mascot is literally a bee cowboy. It's a play on bee and yeehaw, so beehaw

[-] FreeBooteR69@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

I dunno, i like kbiner so long as it isn't pronounced binner, more like carbiner. I'd rather be a rifleman, than a bin diver, lol. As for kbinauts, makes us sound spaced-out crazy, as in twirl your index finger in a circular motion around your temple type. I'm on the fence about it.
