if I say “nerd social media” my gf know exactly what I’m talking about
Nerdscape it is
Nerdland!
I’ve taken a liking to threadiverse, though I think it might confuse some people given Meta’s Threads and Metaverse, people might assume it’s a mix of that.
Fuck facebook for stealing the name metaverse BTW.
Was it from Snow Crash?
Yess!
Threadiverse is a terrible name, the most immediate word association is Threads, ostensibly a large corporate competitor, and the most immediate search result is a geeky/nerdy tshirt/merch company.
Better names?
Fuck uh… I dunno.
Lemmyverse
Lemmy and Friends
Reddit Asylum Seekers Club (RASCL?)
The front page of Web 4.0
Fediverse’s Fractious Forums
???
Fediverse’s Fractious Forums
Fediverse Facetious Friends
What to call this stuff…
Jokingly:
webweb, 'cause it’s a web of websites.
cross-fora, 'cause they’re like cross-posts but entire forums.
newsvents, 'cause a lot of the activity is venting in news post comments. 😉
memecycling centers, 'cause it’s a lot of reposts of old memes/shitposts.Realistically:
Whatever instance/site I’m directing someone to.stick-in-the-mud-tangent
I’d never tell someone to go to WordPress if I was telling them to go to a site built with Wordpress, that’d be silly and out of touch. It’d also be out of touch to use some jargon that means nothing to them like “threadiverse”.
All the pointing to these backends as though they’re platforms like the corporate platforms shows how much they’ve conditioned people into thinking in their terms. The major benefit to these backends is they’re more open, enabling greater mobility between the instances of them/sites built with them.

I see where you come from, but it’s still a platform, a network. It’s way more connected that WordPress.
Piefed, Mbin and Lemmy have back and frontends, it’s not like you’re connecting directly to the instance using API calls
We went with “forum style” fediverse platform
Nice guide!
“The United Link Aggregation Alliance of the Threaded Fediverse, which includes Lemmy, PieFed, kbin, and its fork mbin”
People’s Front of Judea vibes
Take that back, it’s clearly giving Judean People’s Front.

Versed
That’s actually cool
TheVerse
Drop the “The”
Ugh, I feel dirty referencing Facebook. I am sorry.
Managed by @TheDude@sh.itjust.works
“Fedup”
“Reddit alternative”.
Soon to be “digg alternative”
I would say Men of Low Moral Fibre but that’s not inclusive…
idk, fediverse seems fine to me
It is, but we’re not really the same kind of platform than Mastodon or Misskey, or Pixelfed or Peertube
Seriously. Mastodon is just a huge monoculture, and you probably wouldn’t be able to tell a user’s instance from their comments for example. While forumverse (i’m going to use this now xd) instances feel very defined and not too hard to tell where users are from (except with general instances, that can get hard.
Versed is a bit easier to pronounce
Hold up, I kind of like “Versed”.
Lemmy communities and Mbin magazines become “subversed”?
…Eh, it still needs work.
“Converse”? Dang it, a shoe company took that one.
“Fedi-converse”? “Fediversation”? Too long. Let’s keep cooking… “Communiverse”?
Communalverse maybe?
One letter away from a whole different concept
Yeah, we’re not that far left. “Socialverse” maybe?
Not too bad. Even so, still better than “magazine” lol x)
