Benutzer/Nutzer vs. Mitglied

• Users are meant to be members of the community.
• Just readers are not named users.
• "Benutzer" as well as "Nutzer" fits "user" the best.
• "Mitglied" would fit members, which would describe the facts correct.
• "Benutzer" in German is grammatical male and a correct translation would be very long: Benutzerinnen und Benutzer
• "Mitglied" would be, in my opinion, a good gender neutral alternative.
• Other possibility: "Nutzende" means more or less "the using people".
