Dear Mastodon,
In my time here, I've always referred to members of our community as mastodonians, however after seeing @stephenfry latest post I'm feeling conflicted. As we start to try and build a social media entity to rival the giants, it seems wise to decide on a solid demonym early.
Let's put it to a vote. Please boost for a larger sample size.
#Mastodon #Twitter #TwitterMigration #SocialMedia #TheResistanceWillBeFederated #Fediverse #Demonyms
Some quick early thoughts on this before I head off to check back tomorrow.
1)Mastodonians appears to have taken a strong early lead.
2)Already regretting not putting more options in, but in my defence I've rarely/never heard federati or the other demonyms being suggested before. I know I could edit them in, but it doesn't seem fair to those who've already voted to add in options after we've begun.
3)If you have something you prefer then by all means post it below for others to discuss or congregate around.
4)Thanks to everyone who's already boosted.
5)I like both, and some of the new suggestions too, and there's no reason we can't have several as nicknames, but as a primary one I probably like mastodonians slightly best.
We’re the feds
Open your eyes. Avoid the tunnels. Burst the bubbles enclosing you. Feel the space, before limiting options.
I am oldskuhl. It's Fediverse inhabitants.
OTOH, a better strategy might be to NOT 'rival' any giants.
I'm in favour of letting the platform be whatever it's going to be
- regardless of size -
and letting Mastonauts make any number of demonyms to suit the post at hand.
As far as I'm concerned, this is 'a microblogging site'
- so we're all bloggers...!
(My blog may be a Bubble Rap tho...)
