Or we could call each other... Friend.
Comrade.
By name?
What's the need for the special secret handshake? I really think that's one of the silliest things of reddit culture that would be great to just leave as we switch over to here.
Let's not gatekeep but instead meet each other in friendship and non-toxcicity.
If we have to have a special name though, @[email protected] with Lemmings has my vote.
@[email protected] also good with fedizen. I actually think that's really even better.
The media will use it to ridicule us.
I like the idea of it. I'll probablyy shorten it to "hey fez" as a way of referring to both a singular person and a group.
Oh no!
Why in the living fuck should anyone care about "ridicule" what kind of weak-ass cowardly bullshit is this? Fuck the media and fuck you for being so fucking sensitive.
They control the narrative to who we are to the outside world. Likening ourselves to mindless Lemmings, does no one any favours. It just takes one incident to kill a movement. Remember the dog-walking fiasco?
