How do we call kbin users?
Kbinners? Binnies? Kbinators?
Kbinners? Binnies? Kbinators?
Otome-chan, kbinauts seems to be preferred but I've also seen kbeans suggested.
Bizarroland, (edited ) Pronounced "cabin-nauts", right? Or is it "kay bin nauts"?
Otome-chan, I say "kay bin nauts" since apparently kbin is based on sbin. though there's also karabin so cabin might be closer to that?
ScottyB, I like "binners"
birlocke_, binners/kbinners are my favourites by far
auhu, Binner? I hardly know her!
sinkingship, I'm not from here, but I like k-beans.
(I don't wanna be offensive)
MedicPigBabySaver, I kinda like "k-beans/kbeans".
Reminds me of one of my fav sayings: "Cool beans."
Ragnell, I'm allergic to beans. :(
MedicPigBabySaver, Sux 2b u.
Gatsby, Uncool beans :(
torafugu, Burnt beans :(
reflex, (edited ) k-beans
Flickin' some k-beans, aye.
gus, Been here since just before the blackout and I'm not big on kbeans. First of all it sets us up to have a derogatory nickname, likely even unintentionally so. Secondly it has nothing to do with kbin other than vaguely resembling the word 'bin'
I've been partial to kbinaut. No one will question where we're from. Keeps kbin in the name. And a bit more on theme as the 'fediverse' kinda has a loose space vibe to it and with kbinaut resembling astronaut
roo, Liners
iNeedScissors67, kbinauts is one I've seen that I don't hate. Kbinners is probably my preferred.
psyspoop, I agree with just simple kbinner. Kbinauts and kbean are just too cutesy/gimmicky and imo are kinda cringey, especially if you start using it in regular speech ever.
cloaker, Absolutely KBinauts. Seen it going around and it's great. I first saw it here
DracolaAdil, I'm throwing my vote fot Kbinauts! Fits the space theme of the upcoming 'Artemis' app.
callyral, same. i will pronounce it with a silent k though
wildncrazyguy, Yep, I think a lot of us are trying to coalesce under a flavor of this name. @digitallyfree even created us some mascots that I think we could sticker out in the real world! https://kbin.social/m/kbinMeta/t/40257/Introducing-the-Kbeanauts-my-idea-of-a-Kbin-mascot
Kbin_space_program, I like the name KBinauts. It syncs with the name I chose.
wjrii, While we’re at it, what is the term for those butter-side-down heretics on Lemmy instances? /s
nottheengineer, Lemmings.
wjrii, Right. Thank you. Need my coffee. 😀
SpaceCadet2000, binbags :p
sab, ktrash?
warboyziri, @Cloudless kbin crew
Cloudless, I feel like kbin luggage
WaffleFriends, I like kbinauts but kbinners was the first demonym that popped into my head
almino, I vote for k-beans!
jbaert, I rally behind the K-Beans.
ChillinGnome, K-beans is cute
gus, I'm just gonna come out and say it because I think people don't realize and it may be specific to US - if kbeans sticks we will be called "kbeaners" by trolls until the end of time, as it includes a racial slur aimed at hispanic/latino people
Honestly I bet a fair amount of people will even unintentionally use it without realizing. And if we have the ability to choose, I'd rather our nickname not be something that invites people to easily combine it with a slur
Izzgo, I'd rather our nickname not be something that invites people to easily combine it with a slur
I absolutely agree with your sentiment. At the same time, trolls can and will create a slur out of anything.
CatBookCat, kbeanies
KarsicKarl, Trolls will come up with a dumb take on anything.
Block em and.move on.
dismalnow, Seems like an arbitrary "trolls gonna troll" sort of thing that really shouldn't have a high priority.
That being said - I'm not a fan of the moniker anyway. We can do better.
enfa, /u/gus is right - 'kbeaner' contains a loaded slur: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beaner one thats been around for a long time. It is not one I was aware of until recently.
corm, Seems overly touchy to care, just block and move on or roll your eyes.
Why not go after the rock climbing industry for carabiners instead? /s
LegendofDragoon, Whatever you feel in your heart, honestly. I like kbeans myself
dominoko, I've been using Kbinner but I saw someone use Kbinaut and I love it.
LostCause, Out of all these I like kbeans the most!
Izzgo, I did too until I learned (two minutes ago) that Beaner is a derogatory slur originally from the United States to refer to individuals of Hispanic or Latino descent, particularly those that are Mexicans from Mexico or of Mexican American descent. source: Wikipedia
LostCause, That sucks, I don‘t think we should let slurs ruin an otherwise perfectly fine word like bean, I love beans, but maybe it‘s not the best choice then. Guess we could do some poll to see how other names fare though.
corm, I also love beans, especially coffee beans.
Can we not be so touchy as to let the word "bean" be ruined? Come on. That's just some hardcore virtue signaling if you ask me.
skepickle, Kbinsniks
