    I see some use of “Fedizen”.

    I’d like to have a term for someone using specifically the “Reddit-alike” Fediverse platforms, like kbin, mbin, lemmy, etc. “Threadiverse” has been used for that, but searching, don’t think that “threadizen” has been used for that.

      well, i wouldnt aggregate the 'bins as threadiverse-only like lemmy. I chose mbin specifically because its intent is to provide both the threadiverse and twitterverse(?/microblog) interactivity, natively.

      granted, the microblog portion is still a bit clunky, it is in development… but the 'bins do not need some of the ‘bridging’ that the lemmy platform requires

        specifically because its intent is to provide both the threadiverse and twitterverse(?/microblog) interactivity, natively.

        Well, yeah, but in the context of collectively talking about people who use communities (or as kbin puts it, magazines), it’d be the “Reddit-alike” functionality, rather than the “Twitter-alike”.

        I mean, I might also use IRC, and someone could even add support for IRC to one of the software packages, but then I’d be both an IRC user and a Reddit-alike user, even though I use both.

        EDIT: Though that does kind of raise the question of whether there should be a generic for the “Twitter-alike” microblog environment. “Mastodon” is just one Fediverse microblogging package.

      How about just Feds? I have to admit that would amuse me somewhat.

      We’re literally the Feds.
