Recently I wanted to refer to the general populace of the divisions by zero, but it occurred to me we don’t have a good shorthand for it,. I.e. like one talks about “lemmings” or “redditors”. We could use something for members of lemmy.dbzer0.com.

Ideas?

    Eh, i like our instance having an identity :p i don’t see it as elitism, just some fun. Users of dbzer0 works just fine, too; but having a little nickname is cool

        This just in: gay people are elitist because they have their own culture and in-jokes! How dare they exclude homophobic straight people by calling themselves fags and other things

          “Can you imagine?” in this context usually is a scoff or an expression of disbelief.

          “Doesn’t lend well” here means those two things don’t mesh.

                  It’s quite charming, though maybe an acquired taste?

                    I type like I talk, and I work with folks in a caregiving capacity who respond well to someone who doesn’t sound clinical, who maybe talks like just another person in the community, and here in the southern US, that’s a specific accent and affectation… So…

                    It’s okay you’re still my babe!

                    (Unless you dislike southern US style terms of endearment. In which case you’re still my… uh, m@te.)
