It gets tiring to write Piefed/Lemmy/Mbin to call our part of the Fediverse, is Threadiverse now the accepted term?

[lazycog@sopuli.xyz]

Ahhh that was the problem! Okay I kinda understand. But I think we can refuse to let that asshole company steal words like Meta, Face & Book, Threads, etc. and act as if that was their invention.

But yeah I just kept using threadiverse because I feel like everyone here understands exactly what it is and others use it too. If people wouldn't I wouldn't use it I guess :)

Edit: gonna start shortening that to TV so I can just tell everyone "saw that on TV"

I prefer forumverse. Or more inventive : Verse

On !fediverse@piefed.social i created flair to categorize :

• forum software : threadiverse
• media software as pixelfed, peertube, vernissage : mediaverse
• blog : fediblog
  ...

But i think it is confusing and do not help a lot 🥹

[ladybutterfly@piefed.blahaj.zone]

I still say lemmy. Cos I'm lazy and don't like change

[recursive_recursion@piefed.ca]

I use Fediverse as threads is tied to meta

[a_union_of_kobolds@lemmy.world]

I get that. It's like every political conspiracy is a "-gate". But its a useful shorthand, and thats what the term needs.

Every time I explain it to someone, I roll my eyes a little at those terms, but thats what it's called... It sounds so marketing. Trying to tell someone "join the Fediverse" feels like selling a cult, a little, lol

I may ask my wife if she'll let me set up something for her to scroll other than TikTok, though. She's not the type to dive into new stuff like this without good reason, but if I just go "here's your app, all set up with stuff you'll generally enjoy!" maybe it'll drag her off that godawful site.

Sure, although those terms are buzzwords only, not marketing speak. Like blogiverse, definitely not marketing.

The marketing term the Social Web Foundation wants to put forward is "Open Social Web", but that encompasses more than the threaded softwares (includes Mastodon, Peertube, etc.)

[veniasilente@lemmy.dbzer0.com]

Just call it Fediverse.

Fediverse can be part. Fediverse can be all. Fediverse is the all that federates with the bit. Fediverse ought. Fediverse will be. It's even on Poob. Poob will federate it for you. Poob will federate it for you.

[blaze@lemmy.zip]

It doesn't make sense to tell someone "Welcome to the Fediverse" when they join Piefed or Lemmy as they can't follow Mastodon or Sharkey users

[bonktheannoyed@lemmy.blahaj.zone]

Except that, apparently you can? A recent post I made on Lemmy had replies from Mastodon accounts afaict

[revan343@lemmy.ca]

Interacting with Lemmy threads from Mastodon is easy, the inverse not so much

[julian@activitypub.space]

Lemmy and Mastodon can interact (yay federation!) but you can't follow microblog users from Lemmy.

Up until recently, communities couldn't follow other communities, because it's just not a "thing" Lemmy or Piefed do. Users follow communities, yeah?

Except NodeBB tries to have communities follow communities. :)

[snoopy@tarte.nuage-libre.fr]

Yep only Mbin achieve that :3

[julian@activitypub.space]

NodeBB too :blush:

[hubertmanne@piefed.social]

I mean I call the fediverse the federation so I guess I should call it the threaderation

[julian@activitypub.space]

The United Threaderation of Instances?
