Fediverse users are femurs?
We’re lemmings.
We solved this like a year ago! Though I had completely forgotten what it actually was.
Lemmyngs
I’m the little dude who lays 3 stairs and then goes boldly forward.
I‘m the one with that rope. A Lemmnja.
I am F12!
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.
Lemme lend my fellow lemmings some lemons.
NO! I said months ago I hate this. I still hate this.
You’re better fall in line and jump off this cliff with the rest of us.
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.
Less talking. More dropping trou.
So what’s your preferred alternative?

I despise that term and refuse to use it
We are legion
The fun thing about demonyms this is that there’s no grammatical rule for them.
It’s just kind of socially agreed upon.
Nobody from Boston would say they’re bostonite. They would say a Bostonian.
However, there are many more miltons. In the world around there are miltonians and miltonites.
People from Liverpool are liverpudlians.
People from Venice are venetian.
People from St Kitts are called kitty cats.

Another good one is Glasgow -> Glaswegians. Here’s a pretty interesting article about a few odd demonyms:
https://www.atlasobscura.com/articles/demonyms-linguistics-nicknames
The demonym “Glaswegian” comes, linguists think, as an analogy of the Irish city of Galway. “Glasgow” and “Galway” are two fairly similar looking words. And Galway has long had its own analogy with another similar-looking word: Norway. Galway’s demonym is “Galwegian,” as an analogy of “Norwegian.” So “Glaswegian” is a sort of a photocopy-of-a-photocopy of Norwegian. Not something anyone could ever guess!
And people from Wisconsin are called Cheese Heads.
Lidiots
Lamingtons. I will hear no debate on this.
I would also like to die on this hill.
Lemmings is dumb. Lamingtons is rad.
We are lemmys.
I prefer lemmys to lemmings, but I think we got out voted.
No no. I’m with you.
Better than lemmings. I refuse to use lemmings
Now now. Be a good little lemming and follow the crowd.
Lemurians.
We are all the Ace of Spades.
We are the roadcrew.
I found this humerus.
Lemmywinks?
Poor mouse.
