Why are people calling it "threadiverse"???
I've seen this quite a lot recently, and I don't get it. It's the fediverse, isn't it? This name sounds like it comes from Facebook's thing...
@Adanisi
I suppose it refers to Threads. Not so far from treason. So, we can call Threadiverse the gathering of betrayers who use Threads as if it were a part of the Fediverse.

Hi there! The links in your response are not clickable for Lemmy users, here are the clickable versions: !fediverse@lemmy.world
Meta unfortunately decided to call their platform a very basic name, the same name as a core feature of Kbin and Lemmy.
PixelFed, Friendica, Peertube, and Mastodon (all part of the fediverse) don't really use comment threads (Mastodon sort of does) but for Kbin and Lemmy it's basically the most unique part of it, other than being a filter for various links to other pages. So they are often refered to the part of the fediverse that uses comment threads.
But no one was calling it that 2 weeks ago.
I'm not sure why you'd say such a thing. Here's some examples I found just by searching "threadiverse" on my instance.
