I like lemmings but it might be a bit derogatory. Even with that I still think it's better than 'redditors', which always sounded/looked goofy to me.

Any ideas? What do we call Lemmy users?

My current vote is for lemmings. I think it's cute.

I don't think we even have a choice.

How very (apocryphally) Lemming!

Pretty sure those lemmings not having a choice wasn't apocryphal...

I suppose not, and like them we’re being practically pushed off the cliff into a new experience. More fitting than ever.

Well, I hope that analogy isn't very accurate since the "new experience" those lemmings were pushed into didn't end well for the poor wee creatures.

We won’t know till the dust settles, unfortunately.
