I think lemmings is the used term. But judging by the logo we're mice

It looks like it wants to sell single cigarettes to middle schoolers.

What you are referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.

with the federated nature of the verse, do we need a name for a single contributing platforms users?.. maybe.

you have kids using only 'apps' who barely know what the lemmy platform does, because all they know is the app theyre using.... you could have magazines that have zero lemmy users contributing, because the content and its users are interacting from different, compatible fediverse platforms.

it gets somewhat muddy

ive been noodling on what we should call users of the fediverse as a whole

I heard lemmings and lemmies, usually people just use "y'all"

I wish we could reconsider the name "Lemmy" to begin with

Keeping with the spirit of the Fediverse, maybe every instance should have their own.
