Fedos lol

Federasts

Federalist is what that term should be if we're going that route. It's already a word with that exact meaning, though typically related to the government of a state/nation rather than a website/app.

But it would make the Lemmy Civil War so much cooler! Think about it.

"After BeeHaw defederated, several federalists from the Lemmy World Federation, Lemmy ML Federation, and more, have conducted raids on the BeeHawvists."
