I hope that "Go back to Reddit" doesn't become a recurring jab used against others in the fediverse (kbin.social)

Noticing some people levying that against people bringing up complaints about their experience here. It's not the spirit which I hope will prevail. Also, lazy cop out in a discussion.

Saw a great post before, not KBiners, KBinauts! :)

[–] Otome-chan@kbin.social 24 points 1 year ago

okay yeah we're going with kbinauts for sure.

I will accept nothing less than kbeans

[–] Otome-chan@kbin.social 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

kbeans and kbinauts are both good to me. kbeans is kinda funny but it may not be obvious the connection to kbin.

[–] wrath-sedan@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

Yeah, kbeans just makes me chuckle every time I hear it. I'm actually pretty ambivalent about what name is used and maybe in the spirit of federation we end up with a handful of names

[–] gus@kbin.social 8 points 1 year ago

I gotta say I have never vibed with kbeans. Sounds like something an elementary school teacher rewards their students with

Also like that kbinaut (and kbinner) keep kbin in the name

Not to be confused with kerbonauts from KSP ;)
(there's a pun to be made here about the planet Kerbin but I can't think of a good one)

Tbh we are kinda the alien astronauts of the fediverse. Beehaw claimed the bees.

[–] stillnotahero@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

And here I am thinking Beehaw was a play on ‘yeehaw’… yikes

[–] Otome-chan@kbin.social 5 points 1 year ago

It is. Their mascot is literally a bee cowboy. It's a play on bee and yeehaw, so beehaw

I dunno, i like kbiner so long as it isn't pronounced binner, more like carbiner. I'd rather be a rifleman, than a bin diver, lol. As for kbinauts, makes us sound spaced-out crazy, as in twirl your index finger in a circular motion around your temple type. I'm on the fence about it.
