I mean, for Mastodon it's gotta be "Mastodonians"

Kbingers

Feds (as in "Everyone here is secretly a cop") or Fedizens

Mastodonians, Kbingers, and Fedizens are all superb. Iโ€™m not a fan of โ€œfedsโ€ because it has another pretty common usage. I feel like whatever term is chosen should unambiguously evoke the fediverse.

The "fed" nickname was a bit facetious for exactly that reason. I just think it'd be funny for everyone to start calling eachother narcs. The internet is already full of that kind of fedjacketing, so why not embrace it?
