A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.

A lot of people say fedditors but that sounds way too derivative of reddit

I'd say "lemmers", but anything that starts with "lemm-" will prolly do

Lemminators. The first were here when the fediverse was created, but since July 1st redditors are becoming Lemminators too: Judgement Day.

Gods, because Lemmy = God.

Or the next logical choice... "Lemmings."

I wouldn't want to identify with something I use in my spare time. I like videogames I'm not a gamer. It is not my job lol. But do whatever you want. I just think it's unnecessary.

I don’t think this is for self identification as much as a way for third parties to refer to a user group.

I know "lemmings" is catching on but what if we go for "federalists" because it sounds cool?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I get what you are going for, and it sounds kinda cool but nahh. Federalist sounds too political lol. Lemmings sounds soft and cool imho

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

But it would make the Lemmy Civil War so much cooler! Think about it.

"After BeeHaw defederated, several federalists from the Lemmy World Federation, Lemmy ML Federation, and more, have conducted raids on the BeeHawvists."
