Suser

A unique term for users who contribute, define, and interact on the Turkish crowdsourced dictionary platform, Ekşi Sözlük.

In discussions about how Ekşi Sözlük operates, 'suser' is a special term used for the 'writers' who form the platform's core. Unlike traditional encyclopedias, Ekşi Sözlük wasn't about 'absolute truth, but only the personal opinions of its writers (i.e., susers).' This highlights that susers are the primary actors who shape the platform's content, sharing their experiences, humor, and observations.

This social group, also known as 'dictionary writers,' had the opportunity to 'develop its own moral understanding, truths, and culture with members from all over the world.' This emphasizes that susers are more than just content creators; they are part of a unique community that forms the social and cultural fabric of the platform. Susers are central to Ekşi Sözlük's structure, which offers 'the opportunity to shape a common knowledge source as you wish.'
