    I’ve switched to the neutral term “Threadiverse” as that seems applicable to all “Reddit style forums and link aggregators” for most things

    I use Lemmy-verse here because the next biggest, PieFed, already has the entire Triad as part of their default blocks in the new instance setup flow (which btw Tankies hate PieFed and have declared it to be “anti-communist software trying to push out Lemmy” lmao)

      Why not fediverse? I’d argue that Threadiverse is far from a neutral term; it implicitly ascribes ownership of all these spaces to Meta.

        The term “Thrediverse” got coined before Meta wanted to try their hand at EEE with the Fediverse iirc

        Also “Fediverse” is already taken to mean the overarching umbrella for any software that uses the ActivityPub protocol, everything from Loops to Masto to Friendica to PieFed

          That’s fair. I still don’t like it—I think lots of people will assume it’s called that because of Threads—but I don’t have any better ideas. ¯\(ツ)/¯
