What do we call ourselves? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

Recently I wanted to refer to the general populace of the divisions by zero, but it occurred to me we don't have a good shorthand for it,. I.e. like one talks about "lemmings" or "redditors". We could use something for members of lemmy.dbzer0.com.

Ideas?

How about b@ts, as in "bats" referring to many things, among them:

Landstreicher's translation of Stirner's "bats in the belfry" expression
"Bats," referring to the expression of insanity for our neurodiverse and other friends
Bats, the animals, live in dark caves and only come out at night (pejorative for us being internet nerds)
It uses the @ symbol and fits all of your criteria
Bats are cool
