Riffing off of another comment, I think itβs ok to have terms specific to each platform, and then a term for all platforms.
Platform specific:
Overall:
I mean, for Mastodon it's gotta be "Mastodonians"
Kbingers
Feds (as in "Everyone here is secretly a cop") or Fedizens
Mastodonians, Kbingers, and Fedizens are all superb. Iβm not a fan of βfedsβ because it has another pretty common usage. I feel like whatever term is chosen should unambiguously evoke the fediverse.
The "fed" nickname was a bit facetious for exactly that reason. I just think it'd be funny for everyone to start calling eachother narcs. The internet is already full of that kind of fedjacketing, so why not embrace it?
