As a former redditor I am glad to have found a new "home" and I hope I'm not intruding. Nevertheless, we are all a huge migration that is bound to change how kbin works and we're bound to piss off some pre-migration Keebinetters. The fact you guys were here before and not in reddit makes evident you don't want this to become a carbon copy of reddit. From the interface to the group dynamics, please lets us now...

What can we do NOT to ruin kbin for you?

best thing you could do prolly is to never use the word keebinetter again

Dear pre-migration Keebieweebies...

We've all missed the memo, I just found out it's officially the kawaii boys international network.

We could take a page from Utah and call ourselves Kbahns.

It makes no sense. Without context, I would have no idea that "keebinetter" is supposed to mean "user of kbin." What's wrong with established naming conventions? And who reads "kbin" as "keebin"?

A name based on kbin doesn't make sense anyway, the whole idea is that this isn't just kbin.

I hope it doesn't stick because it really sounds stupid, no offence.

Yeah, that word is giving me the keebeejeebees.

Agreed!

How about kbinians or kbinistas?

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

This isn't just kbin, that's kinda the whole point. A name based on kbin is short-sighted, because kbin is only one small piece of this thing.

Instead of instantly doing the same shit we did on reddit 15 years ago, why don't we do things differently this time? We don't have to call kbin users anything. In any case, please god not "keebinetter."
