@liaizon I dunno. Creative like what? I think this is creative enough to be recognizable and understandable, which is sufficient for language.

Sure, you can name a fediverse citizen a snorpflorp or something... But it'll probably only make sense to you.

@drq I mean me complaining about it is surely not going to change anyone's behavior but that doesn't mean I have to accept it. I have also seen people try to change habits around calling people using computer stuff users but that hasn't seemed to work so well. I see we do need some agreement on terms for the users of each piece of software but I just wish there was a better way of doing it then making these awkward sandwiches of sounds squished together.

@liaizon I've been working with language through my whole academia, and trust me - there are a lot of instances where I'd prefer we had have been less, ahem, creative.
