I love how this bothers so many people.

It's good in a way, because atleast people are passionate to be angry, else apathy can be worse

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I agree. Creates good discussion sometimes too.

Wouldn't we be Lemmings?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The official demonym is "Lemmings" but I kind of like "Lemmonites" too.

Okay I can get behind lemmonite, a bit more of a safer version of lemmite

whats wrong with “users”

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

It's not an identity that separates you from people using other services.

You don't want to be like those facebookahoohaas or twitteriterions.
