We solved this like a year ago! Though I had completely forgotten what it actually was.

Lemmings is just the best name for us. It’s so anti-corporate, you can rest assured not a single PR team would ever greenlight it in the history of PR teams. We don’t need a PR team to approve our nickname, we don’t want a PR team to approve our nickname, we don’t want to have anything to do with whatever a PR team wants.

In case anyone was unsure, lemmings don’t even jump off cliffs, that was literally just Disney staff throwing lemmings off cliffs like a bunch of psychopaths.

Your comment was so applicable to any of my comments that I assumed you were replying to the one where I said I wasn’t going to start wearing pants at work.

I think lemurs like the op said is better. However, I also think the ship has probably already sailed and lemmings is what it is.

We are mostly called “lemmings” here.

I am more attached to the idea of the fediverse as a whole than to Lemmy.

I think we should all be called “feds.”
