      “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
