tf is threadiverse lol
lemmy/mbin
That is the Fediverse. "Threadiverse" was a buzzword made up by Meta when they tried to force attach Threads to us.
i see this a lot but this is a misconception. “threadiverse” originally was a term to describe the “threaded fediverse” i.e. Reddit-like platforms like Lemmy and kbin. Bluesky and Threads are not threadiverse because they operate on the microblog model not the threaded link aggregation model. this usage has nothing to do with the then non-fediverse related Meta project “Threads” and can be seen predating it.

Correct, but I do want to mention that Bluesky did end up adding beta support for threaded (nested) replies but I'm unsure if it went further or has been abandoned.

Meta stole that from us. People were using the term and it was gaining momentum until Meta's "Threads" was announced.
