    in concept, too much like sheeple - rather demeaning. Do I want to be a part of a user group that follows the crowd of of a cliff? but, the word is easy. “Lemmians” is the firs word that popped into my mind.

      Calling lemmy’s users ‘Lemmings’ may be a neat reminder of the harm of groupthink, something upvote-based forums incentivize, IMO.

        great point. I made the same point on ruqqus when I read that I need about 200 upvotes/points in order to start a guild.
