I used to say “Welcome to Lemmy” to new joiners, but nowadays quite a few of them join Piefed instance, having a generic term is easier
You can’t follow Mastodon users from Lemmy or Piefed, using “Fedivers” seems too generic

The only concern I’ve seen with the name is that Facebook named their thing “Threads”, and so it might be confusing for people familiar with that.
I still use the term 🤷
Ahhh that was the problem! Okay I kinda understand. But I think we can refuse to let that asshole company steal words like Meta, Face & Book, Threads, etc. and act as if that was their invention.
But yeah I just kept using threadiverse because I feel like everyone here understands exactly what it is and others use it too. If people wouldn’t I wouldn’t use it I guess :)
Edit: gonna start shortening that to TV so I can just tell everyone “saw that on TV”
Threads is pretty much dead and forgotten tho?
It was feeling like older twitter for a little bit but enough ppl joined and now the algorithim is the same trash modern x is.
Gemini is both the Google AI and the network protocol, it seems clear which one you’re referring to depending on context
