I woke up in the middle of the night with this thought in my head: “Leaving Reddit should be called Lemigrating.”

Then I went straight back to sleep.

(As for why I'm posting it here, I guess the word "emigrate" just makes me think of the leathery people in strappy tops on A Place in the Sun. 🤷‍♂️)

For me? Rexit.

meejle@lemmy.world · 17 pts · 3y (5 replies)

But does Rexit mean Rexit?

The ol' cake-and-eat-it approach to Rexit. I wonder what the Norway modal is...

Does that mean we're trying to get back in?

Does that make us red-fugees?

This sounds like a subspecies of a tardigrade

That's a new one. So far I've seen rexxit, rexodus, and rexxodus. I prefer rexxit. It emphasizes the reddit exit, the double x's keep the spelling similar, and you use x's to strike out things you don't like. Also, it's short and easy to type.

Anyway, most people seem to be split between lemmy and kbin.

Someone else had a nice suggestion : fleddit. But lemigrate sounds nice too !

I like it :) the more terms the better so long as they leave.

I saw someone call people leaving reddit fledditors. I liked that.

You mean there is another "leathery people in strappy tops" other than Zardoz!?

TeaHands@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 3y

Bit more tricksy for the people moving to Kbin though. Get your subconscious to work on that one next!

That’s beautiful! 🥰

Lemmy is only one place to interact with the Fediverse so that does not really make sense.

Spudger@lemmy.sdf.org · 1 pts · 3y

What about kbin and other alternatives? Not everyone is moving to Lemmy. I don't want to use the software developed by tankies.

vaguerant@kbin.social · 3 pts · 3y (1 reply)

The kbinflux.

TeaHands@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 3y

Nice.

That's why I'm on kbin. I'd rather not put my eggs in that basket
