I like the name “Threadiverse” so I’ll start using it.

With that being said

a term like internet; that doesn’t need to communicate anything other than what the platform is.

I have to disagree that the term doesn’t need explanation as a result of it being cleverly created. I think it’s because the internet is just so widespread a phenomenon that everyone knows about it. I agree that a good name can help catalyze the popularity, but I think very few things are actually self-explanatory.

oh yeah; I wasn't saying it doesn't need explaining--but that once it's explained it's easily remembered

what I was pointing out there is that reddit's name contains pointless obfuscation, and random info like the fact that reddit is red--and that when you're coining a term, not forging a brand, you don't have to do that nonsense
