    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)
