@JohnPhilpin Thanks for this. I'll certainly think about it. I am using the word "users" as that matches what is used on Micro.blog... maybe I'll make it a "Nitpicky" thing haha.
@JohnPhilpin @vincent @manton 'people' very much ignores the reality of Micro.blog accounts; they're not all people, or even necessarily represent people, or even all customers. If the label could be changed per account/account type, then maybe a set of words could be used but that sounds like a difficult problem to solve.
@simonwoods @JohnPhilpin Yep, agree 100% and something I wanted to say - whilst at the end of the day they are people managing it, they may not represent a person as such and more a company... or a service or whatever...
@vincent @simonwoods all good - be interesting to know what percentage of micro blog accounts aren’t personal … maybe I just have a habit of following people - not ‘companies’.
@JohnPhilpin @vincent You can also follow domains and Mastodon accounts. Plus there's auto-posting. I think there's a good chance this variety will increase as time passes.
@simonwoods yes - and I guess my edge case is that I don’t do either - hence ‘people’ … maybe a change at root is as simple as account ( that alone is a better name than ‘user’ ).
