See this is a problem because some people think the fediverse revolves around lemmy. It doesn't, and nor does it revolve around kbin (which is where this discussion you're viewing in lemmy is originating from). We're in the fediverse and any name should reflect that. But also, there's zero chance I'm ever going to refer to myself as a kbinaut or fedinaut, or k-bean. That's so cringe. It feels like snoo all over again. Kbinners is a natural and non try-hard name if you must refer specifically to kbin users but I don't see any reason for establishing or encouraging tribalism within the fediverse. I haven't seen a general fediverse or threadiverse name I particularly like yet. I'm kind of a fan of threader, threaditor or something like that though.

Lemmy is not the underlying technology anyway.
