[ POLL ] Astronaut vs Capsuler vs Captain vs Pilot

I have been never satisfied with the adoption of "Capsuler", if you run a Capsule then you should be an "Astronaut", on the wake of the Gemini spirit.

However if we all are essentially Geminauts then the ones that have a capsule might be also "Pilots" or "Captains".

What do you think? let me know your opinions!

Thanks... 🙏

For what it's worth: I prefer not to differentiate. We're all Geminauts...

@Morgan I don't disagree with you but sometimes is useful distinguish between who runs a capsule and who does not.

I want to be called Guvnah

"Commander" has a nice ring...

My capsule could be Cobra Mark III, because what Gemini needs is some crossover with Elite. 🙃

Expanding a bit the concept also the implementers should be called Space Engineers...

Personally, I like Geminaut for any Gemini user but capsule owners should be called pilots. I don't like Captain because that makes Geminispace sound bigger than it actually is. We are all just capsules in a small web after all.

@PikaSonic I am totally agree with you, I put more options just to be fair and less biased...

I like Geminaut but that is probably users, not authors, otherwise maybe Capsule Owner

Is this for people who run servers? Or people who have a gemini home page? Or people who are browsing the gemini web? (What's the name for the gemini web anyway?) I like the idea of "pilot" (or similar) for server owners because they are caring for the machine that other people ride in (regular browsing folks).

@cquenelle I am not sure about the terms that are customary, I assume capsule is a homepage of a user, though that could be called pod as well
