What is a gender neutral replacement for man, guys, buddy, etc?

Why is everyone so giddy about the flooding thay happened at burning man?
Social media seems to be laughing its ass off about this tragedy, is it because the folks at burning man are perceived as frivolous hippies or something?

What Are Some Things You Regret Buying or Bought but Never Used?
I see posts talking about good BIFL items but I don’t hear much about the other side of products that are bad or products you bought but don’t even use.
I hate how everything requires you to download a shitty proprietary data harvesting app nowadays when everything can be done just fine without an app.

Now that a lot of the commotion has subsided I’m just curious to know how y’all are finding the Lemmy experience in general and whether you use it regularly like you did reddit?
