Absolutely KBinauts. Seen it going around and it's great. I first saw it here
I like the name KBinauts. It syncs with the name I chose.
I vote for k-beans!
I'm just gonna come out and say it because I think people don't realize and it may be specific to US - if kbeans sticks we will be called "kbeaners" by trolls until the end of time, as it includes a racial slur aimed at hispanic/latino people
Honestly I bet a fair amount of people will even unintentionally use it without realizing. And if we have the ability to choose, I'd rather our nickname not be something that invites people to easily combine it with a slur
/u/gus is right - 'kbeaner' contains a loaded slur: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beaner one thats been around for a long time. It is not one I was aware of until recently.
Seems like an arbitrary "trolls gonna troll" sort of thing that really shouldn't have a high priority.
That being said - I'm not a fan of the moniker anyway. We can do better.
Seems overly touchy to care, just block and move on or roll your eyes.
Why not go after the rock climbing industry for carabiners instead? /s
Trolls will come up with a dumb take on anything.
Block em and.move on.
K-beans is cute
I rally behind the K-Beans.
I've been thinking about this for a little while now and I think Fedditor is the best choice.
Fedditor sounds like a nice, platform-neutral term, but it might be a little too close to Reddit. I can't think of an alternative, though. But your idea of a general Fediverse term rather than a platform specific one is good.
I'm a federal agent, thank you very much
There are several Lemmy instances called Feddit though, so that fedditor would almost certainly be seen as referring to them.

I'm also not a fan of using terms referring to reddit. Can't we leave reddit in the past instead?
Someone else suggested Fedinaut and I love it.
kbinauts is one I've seen that I don't hate. Kbinners is probably my preferred.
I agree with just simple kbinner. Kbinauts and kbean are just too cutesy/gimmicky and imo are kinda cringey, especially if you start using it in regular speech ever.
Kbinauts.
I'm not from here, but I like k-beans.
(I don't wanna be offensive)
Been here since just before the blackout and I'm not big on kbeans. First of all it sets us up to have a derogatory nickname, likely even unintentionally so. Secondly it has nothing to do with kbin other than vaguely resembling the word 'bin'
I've been partial to kbinaut. No one will question where we're from. Keeps kbin in the name. And a bit more on theme as the 'fediverse' kinda has a loose space vibe to it and with kbinaut resembling astronaut
I kinda like "k-beans/kbeans".
Reminds me of one of my fav sayings: "Cool beans."
Out of all these I like kbeans the most!
I did too until I learned (two minutes ago) that Beaner is a derogatory slur originally from the United States to refer to individuals of Hispanic or Latino descent, particularly those that are Mexicans from Mexico or of Mexican American descent. source: Wikipedia
Kbin users
I've been using Kbinner but I saw someone use Kbinaut and I love it.
I vote for Kbinauts, since we‘re kinda like astronauts exploring the fediverse
I vote for kbinauts
Kboomer
Fedditors is probably best because activitypubbers doesnt roll off the tongue the same way. kbin is just a provider. its likr calling emailers gmailers or outlookers
While we’re at it, what is the term for those butter-side-down heretics on Lemmy instances? /s
Kbinauts!
how about "users" or "members"
-t boomer
Liners
kbiñeros (edit: typo)
I like kbinauts but kbinners was the first demonym that popped into my head
