The fuck did you just call this? The threadiverse? Nu-uh, fuck the meta fucks, this is the Fediverse.
Thats literally what it's called
Ah shit, I'll eat my crow. I'm new here, sorry for the ill-informed jackassery
It's not a bad name. It's the fediverse, but for threaded conversation. The threadiverse nickname has been floating around far longer than Meta's rushed Twitter clone.
So Meta stole the name TOO? Can we as a collective open source community legally tell Meta to fuck off?
Bro, "thread" has been used in a forum context since online forums were created, way before Meta's existence.
Please leave knee-jerk reactions on Reddit. There’s no reason to talk to people like that.
I'm really having hard time grasping what goes through people's minds when deciding to be so damn aggressive off the bat. We're all just trying to have a good time here.
Yeah, it’s completely unnecessary. People in real life are rarely this rude off the bat so idk why some folks think it’s okay to become such an edgelord when they sit behind a keyboard. Do they not realize there’s human beings on the other side of the screen?
Threadiverse predates threads I'm pretty sure. Reddit is composed of threads, reddit fediverse being threadiverse makes sense. Maybe less so now though.
