On Coining a New Term ( kbin.social )

Mane25 , 11 months ago

It’s a good name and I’ve heard it proposed before, I think the real problem is it’s too close to Meta’s new platform (Threads). Since that company has already co-opted “metaverse”, and is threatening to invade our fediverse, I think it’s too vulnerable to name anything “threadiverse” at the moment.

I think that's really more a problem with facebook using a broad term for their app name than anything--but yeah; facebook has a habit of co-opting broad terms; my opinion is if we start using it first; we'll probably have it name recognition-wise, since our platform's far superior.

Beauty in this though is that there is no unified "threadiverse" platform; it's just Lemmy+Kbin+whatever comes next; and as such there's not much commitment to using any term over another--if "threadiverse" doesn't catch on; we'll get something better at some point
