What would be some good terms to use instead?
Off the top of my head - comrade, friend, stranger.. If you're more familiar and are comfortable to use them (not an old fogey like me) fam, cuz. E: also sib, as in "sibling".
I'm sure there are others too..
I mean "comrade" is making some pretty big political assumptions so I don't think it's a very good choice for greeting someone you don't know
