I like lemmings but it might be a bit derogatory. Even with that I still think it’s better than ‘redditors’, which always sounded/looked goofy to me.

Any ideas? What do we call Lemmy users?

My current vote is for lemmings. I think it’s cute.

    I think Lemmings is great because it’s not something any PR team would approve of. It feels completely unincorporated.

      Who knows what this reporter thinks they’re reporting 🤷

      The suicidal overtone is a huge turnoff for me.

        If it makes you feel better, lemmings don’t actually commit suicide like you’re imagining and Disney made it all up. They basically threw lemmings off a cliff to get the footage they wanted.
