Curious to know, I’d heard “lemming” used in a semi derogatory way, since “a person who unthinkingly joins a mass movement, especially a headlong rush to destruction” is the dictionary definition. It seems to be the first thing to come to mind as to what you’d call a Lemmy user.
This platform certainly is embodying a mass movement to get off of reddit, and I’m definitely all for it! But I can’t help but feel this could be one of those baby names that sounded cute and catchy but could be bullied later into life. What are your thoughts?
Ah, I see. You never truly savored the Redditor experience - the Fedora, the bliss of basement living, the Cheetos-inspired physique. Without such rites of passage, how can you claim the title?
As for Twitter users being “Twats” or Facebook users “Faceboomers”, that’s an interesting proposition. But remember, le Redditors bear our stereotype with pride. The basement always has room for one more. ;)
/s <- do we still do this?
instead of fediverse perhaps it should be fedoraverse
I always used to do /j for joke/joking but I like to differentiate myself so YMMV
also fuck you

/j
I hope not. Let’s just assume we all know 95% of people who would post on this site are being sarcastic, at all times.
If anything, we need a symbol for “I’m serious”…maybe /s?
You’ve got two duplicate comments
I hope not. We all know the majority are being sarcastic more than we aren’t. Maybe we should have a tag for “I’m serious”… Would /s work for that? Haha
Oh yeah, very alideen! /s
