guys, dudes, bros

If you're not addressing a group of people who identify as men, you probably didn't mean to exclude women, non-binary folks, and others who do not feel comfortable with "guys". Perhaps consider using good alternatives like “y’all," "gang," “friends,” “fellow humans,” “people,” “crew,” or "everyone" instead in the future!
