with the federated nature of the verse, do we need a name for a single contributing platforms users?.. maybe.
you have kids using only ‘apps’ who barely know what the lemmy platform does, because all they know is the app theyre using… you could have magazines that have zero lemmy users contributing, because the content and its users are interacting from different, compatible fediverse platforms.
it gets somewhat muddy
ive been noodling on what we should call users of the fediverse as a whole
I’d like to have a term for someone using specifically the “Reddit-alike” Fediverse platforms, like kbin, mbin, lemmy, etc. “Threadiverse” has been used for that, but searching, don’t think that “threadizen” has been used for that.
well, i wouldnt aggregate the 'bins as threadiverse-only like lemmy. I chose mbin specifically because its intent is to provide both the threadiverse and twitterverse(?/microblog) interactivity, natively.
granted, the microblog portion is still a bit clunky, it is in development… but the 'bins do not need some of the ‘bridging’ that the lemmy platform requires
specifically because its intent is to provide both the threadiverse and twitterverse(?/microblog) interactivity, natively.
Well, yeah, but in the context of collectively talking about people who use communities (or as kbin puts it, magazines), it’d be the “Reddit-alike” functionality, rather than the “Twitter-alike”.
I mean, I might also use IRC, and someone could even add support for IRC to one of the software packages, but then I’d be both an IRC user and a Reddit-alike user, even though I use both.
EDIT: Though that does kind of raise the question of whether there should be a generic for the “Twitter-alike” microblog environment. “Mastodon” is just one Fediverse microblogging package.

I see some use of “Fedizen”.

How about just Feds? I have to admit that would amuse me somewhat.
We’re literally the Feds.
The name glows too brightly for my taste.
I like that one.
Noodles it is then.
Moodles.
I believe that that’s what the video game Project Zomboid uses to refer to the icons shown onscreen to show character mood.

Yup.

Huh. TIL…
feds
feds already has a largely negative connotation… for brittany especially.
