I've seen keebinetters, but that feels like trying to say Massachusettsian instead of Bay Stater.

Kay-Binner seems like the most simple and inclusive, but that depends on the fact that you pronounce kbin Kay-bin

Maybe something representing the federated nature? Like Fedizen maybe?

The bin in kbin stands for the enclosing structure. We, as its users, are its content.
Therefore, I present you, the correct way to call ourselves:

trash

Me and the homies at 3am looking for (k)BEANS

It's pretty funny, I like it.

I like @watchdog @MeowdyPardner idea.

kbinauts, fit the "space" fediverse/universe theme.

Has my vote.

This and kbeans are my 2 favorites so far.

I've seen "kbinaut" mentioned elsewhere and I do like that one.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I’m trying to get “kbinaut” to stick.

I think we need to use something that works for the whole fediverse. Remember, people from Lemmy use this too lol

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

But don't people from Lemmy call themselves lemmings?

I think "Kbinners" is the best option because it keeps the ambiguity on how you pronounce it, is easy to type and remember, and will be easy for newcomers to understand as well.

Oh right, I guess it could just be Kbinner. I completely overthought myself into a dumb spelling while making the post! Lol

i like kbinner. reminds me of carabiner.
kbean is the runner up

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I would go for Binners. Rolls off the tongue a bit more nicely. And somehow makes me think of loot diggin' which is an apt analogy to riffling through threads and posts.

Kbeans holds up too

Binners is our word, you can say binna though.
