    Thank you kind …well I was going to say “person”, since I don’t know your gender. But now your username makes “person” even questionable.

    Thank you kind life form of undetermined species!

        “user” sounds insulting.

        “lemming”…I get what you’re going for, assuming they’re on lemmy, but that also sounds insulting.

        “fedi-friend”. Now this is the reason batters get 3 strikes and not one. You got a hit with this one! I mean, not a home run…but, at least a single. Maybe even a double if the runner is fast enough.

          Fair enough - feel free to brainstorm some more and I’ll add them to my internet vocabulary :)

          Maybe something like “poster” or similar? I’m trying to think of a noun that describes what we do on these forums that’s devoid of gender indication (but still works as a singular noun/can be pluralized).

          EDIT: oh yeah I forgot “netizen”, I try to use that as well when appropriate
