     Greetings #Fediverse members!

     I've been joining a number of conversations about the recent growth on the Fediverse, and I keep hearing the term "users".

     I'd like to remind everyone here that the community is made up of people, humans, members.

     "Users" dehumanises, alienates, and allows for a particular brand of technospeak that smacks of addicted eyeballs and lost privacy.

     I am a member of the community, not a user of software. Please try to reduce, ahem, using the word.
