(lemmy.world) submitted 1 year ago by Cris_Color@lemmy.world to c/fediverse@lemmy.world 151 comments fedilink hide all child comments I just thought this might make a fun discussion thread for folks to chat about ideas and make silly pie jokes.

"Threadiverse" has been used before Threads became a thing, and "thread" is a generic term that has existed for ages and doesn't belong to Meta. permalink fedilink source parent [–] OpenStars@piefed.social 1 point 1 year ago Meta did try to make "Threads", but (a) it failed miserably and (b) use of that term on Lemmy predates Meta trying to steal it. We don't need to let them define us!
