How do we call kbin users?
(kbin.social)
Users. I'm boring but stop with the corny reddit nonsense, ugh.
Kabineers
KBinners.
Oh sorry I didn't notice that post. Should have looked that up before creating mine.
Nothing to apologize for - the conversation happened in a different magazine. I'm confident there are other places where the idea has been discussed before that one, too. all good, friend /u/cloudless!
Versers. Or another user suggested Fedinauts.
Both are platform agnostic and bear no resemblance to "Reddit"
When you're going from thread to thread and digging deep into content, we can call that going down a k hole.
I have seen kbinauts used before. Credit to some guy.
Whatever you feel in your heart, honestly. I like kbeans myself
keebs
Ballers, shot callers
Binsters.
I mentioned to my SO about kbin. Since then she refers to it as Kevin.
Those of us who just joined are referred to as Beanie babies.
I like kbinaut and k-beans
We had that thread a week ago and someone suggested kabaneros.
I don't care what y'all decide, I'm gonna go with that one.
Combine top votes? KBeanauts?
I'm really liking kbinaut!
Binnie baby
Keebineebies
Wheely-bins.
KapyBaras
What about lemmy. Are they lemmyngs?
While a decent play on words, this feels like it's just asking to be turned into a pejorative term. It could easily be turned around and used to suggest everyone on kbin/lemmy/etc is a lemming who falls in line and follows the pack without any individual thought.
I didn't like the term "Redditor" and I don't wanna be called anything based on what website I go to.
For one thing, being called a "Redditor" was typically a negative. It was a dismissive. The "hive mind" and all that. I don't wanna be associated with a "community vibe." I just want to visit an aggregator that doesn't have corporate baggage and an agenda.
My thing is, we're all just people. Using a web service. So that's what I call us. People. On the internet. I don't need or want some tribal moniker. Not here. Not across a decentralized system.
Here's two off the top of my head based on reddit. Both aren't my favorite, but variety is the spice of life!
- Federedditors
- Reddfugees
