Reddit users are called Redditors, Tumblr has Tumblrinas, Lemmy has Lemmings, ~~Twitter has Twits~~...

I feel like Beehaw is separate enough from the rest of the Fediverse both in terms of ideals and the space you're trying to create and in terms of actually being separate (defederated) from many of the most popular Lemmy instances to deserve its own demonym. Beehaw users aren't just any old Lemmings. We should have our own word. What do you think it should be?

I think i've seen "Beeple" used the most. I don't hate it!

I've been referring to the lot of us as "Beeple", personally. I can't claim credit, it was how they pinged us on discord for one of the community polls and I just really enjoyed it.

Beegenerates. 😆 Beelinquents. Cowbees? (I'm joking here, but that's actually kinda not bad.)
