What do we call ourselves? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

Recently I wanted to refer to the general populace of the divisions by zero, but it occurred to me we don't have a good shorthand for it,. I.e. like one talks about "lemmings" or "redditors". We could use something for members of lemmy.dbzer0.com.

Ideas?

For the outside the instance, something from the instance name would be intuitive.

  • Ds ("dees")

  • Divs

  • Dbs ("div/dee-bees")

  • 0s ("ohs/zees/zeros")

  • Db0s ("div/dee-bee-ohs/zees") which seems easiest for those all round.

Outside the instance, I'm not sure! I like the thinking of the mate but it still seems a bit too... something

Lmfao I kind of like db0s because if you pronounce it "oh" instead of 0 it's the default schema for all m$ databases.... Haha
