What about those who post here (and to Lemmy) from Mastodon? Or from Calckey or Bookwyrm?
Maybe we don't need to adopt Reddit culture at all? surprisedpikachu.jpg

Listen, as nerds we need a classification system.

Demonyms are way older than reddit. It's not "reddit culture" to come up with a name for the users of a social media site, it's a practice that long predates reddit.

What are users of old school forums called? Or myspace? Facebook? 4chan? I'm actually struggling to come up with a single similar forum or social media site that insisted on using a stupid cutesy nickname like reddit did; can you help me out here?

4channer was used a lot, same with farkers, and b3tards (not great to look back on).

"Diggers" was one.
