Curious to know, I’d heard “lemming” used in a semi derogatory way, since “a person who unthinkingly joins a mass movement, especially a headlong rush to destruction” is the dictionary definition. It seems to be the first thing to come to mind as to what you’d call a Lemmy user.
This platform certainly is embodying a mass movement to get off of reddit, and I’m definitely all for it! But I can’t help but feel this could be one of those baby names that sounded cute and catchy but could be bullied later into life. What are your thoughts?
There’s this saying ‘would you jump off a bridge if all your friends did?’.
Well my friends are lovely people, they’re smart and wise (some one thing more than the other). They’re great friends. So if I imagine myself in a situation where all of them are jumping off a bridge I think my best option, nothing else known, would be jumping too.
So call me a fucking lemming if you want, I was starting to hate that bridge long ago
