Edit: This only applies to Reddit immigrants, me included. The OGs are still Lemmings.

Lemmings has been a popular option thrown out too.

Especially when you consider that the lemmings were forced off the ledge in the original footage. They don’t actually follow each other to their deaths.
I’m definitely not dead.
I think I would prefer lemmings
I think would prefer Motorheed, which of course, is the plural of Motorhead. You are a Motorhead. You and I are two Motorheed.
I’m not going to complain about people talking about Reddit in the short term, since the implosion of that site was a fairly recent (and ongoing) thing that most of us experienced (I imagine there are one or two Lemmy users that just picked it as their first link aggregator/discussion site, but realistically most of use came from Reddit) so naturally people are going to want to talk about it. I’d rather not make the Reddit exodus part of our central identity.
Lemming is fine. Sure, we spend most of our time just walking from left to right, but any one of use could be the one to build the next staircase, bash through the next wall, dig the next tunnel, etc. that will let the rest progress to the next stage.
And then of course there are the blockers who get blown up when their usefulness has run its course. Not sure how they fit into the metaphor.
That brought back a lot of memories. I remember my mom being addicted to the game for a while. MS-DOS days!

When God gives you lemons, you find a new god.
TBF, people made lemons.
I think Lemmings has stuck so far.
No.
Everywhere Reddit goes, it takes the cringe with it, it seems.
Everyone in the Fediverse should be labeled as a Fedophile.
I really hope nobody calls people in the fediverse that name though, maybe Fediphile is better
Just call me daddy
I don’t want our whole identity to just be anti-Reddit. We should be called whatever feels most natural to say, rather than some less-fitting word with an unintuitive meaning we’d have to explain all the time. Yes, we were mostly all brought here by a common ostracization from Reddit, but we’ve got plenty of other content to provide to this site than just that shared sentiment. Plus, if this site is going to be successful, it’ll need to grow a lot more, so it won’t have this strong of feelings toward the site pretty soon.
Im a fan of Meisters. After Lemmy Killmeister, the original Lemmy
LemmyNades
And then I found out a lemming isn’t just an old game but also an animal.
