What’s good Mastodon!? What do we call ourselves? Mastos? Mastodoners! Doners? FEDERALISTS?? Please tell me we are federalists. I would love to reclaim that word.
@baratunde Federalists sounds very good. I'm pretty sure we could call ourselves a #federation :)
@Aminorjourney @baratunde Tweak it to β€œTHE Federation” and I endorse. :)
@baratunde @PeterKBonney but that would upset the Vulcans.
@Aminorjourney The Vulcans? Or the Ni'Vari? πŸ˜‰
@ThatBlairGuy oh of course the Vulcans.

@Aminorjourney They do seem to have some misgivings about those highly emotional humans running around unsupervised.

Which is a bit ironic considering that as "Ni'Vari", the emotion-laden Romulans get included in that race. Which seems like a potential source of dramatic tension for some of the story tellers out there.

But I digress. Calling this "The Federation" seems a fun means of teasing certain easily irritated Vulcans who miss that irritation is an emotional response.
