    Riffing off of another comment, I think it’s ok to have terms specific to each platform, and then a term for all platforms.

    Platform specific:

    • Lemming
    • Kbiner
    • Mastadoner

    Overall:

    • Fediverser
    • Running_Out_Of_Plans

      I mean, for Mastodon it’s gotta be “Mastodonians”

      Kbingers

      Feds (as in “Everyone here is secretly a cop”) or Fedizens

        Mastodonians, Kbingers, and Fedizens are all superb. I’m not a fan of “feds” because it has another pretty common usage. I feel like whatever term is chosen should unambiguously evoke the fediverse.

          The “fed” nickname was a bit facetious for exactly that reason. I just think it’d be funny for everyone to start calling eachother narcs. The internet is already full of that kind of fedjacketing, so why not embrace it?
