I've seen "beeple" and loved it but I also saw "cowbee" earlier today and thought that was pretty cute.

Berson or Bee. Preferring Bee because because Berson just makes me think of 🅱️erson.

That's hilarious though

IDK what you would call the users but I would call the mods bee keepers

The personal favorite so far is "Beeple", and I absolutely adore @DarbyDear's reply for the singular. I've taken to calling the various communities "hives" as well.

While beeple is great I feel it is really missing the cowboy element. Something a little more rootin-tootin ya know?

Beeckaroo. You’re welcome.

With an Aussie accent I bet we would make that work!

[–] fracture@beehaw.org 1 points 1 year ago

I have seen yeehive suggested, but I like beeple more and that one seems to have official usage now, too.

People who use beehaw. Because we are not in high school.

I'd have objected to having a cute name for a group I was in when I was in high school. As an adult, I think it's fun.
