    Yep, adding “Flair” to communities is a fun new feature.

    I’ve added Flair to my support forums here. “Important”, “Status”,“Information”, and “Maintenance”

    Forumverse or Threadiverse?

    I don’t really have a cat in this race, but I thought people hated the former? (They also hate the latter, but they hate the former as well:-).

    Threadiverse looks to be a very old term, having fallen out of favor when Meta stole it, but then rebounded when Meta’s Threads failed to take off.

    Recent(-ish) discussion about it: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/39328612.

    Tldr: people have tried to push Forumverse but it won’t take, though Threadiverse is used by many already, and has been for several years.

      I don’t use threadiverse thank to Meta. 💀 So the closest alternative for me was forum. Forumverse.

      We could chose Verse as poetry, verb…but i don’t think anyone would understand. 😔

        Do a poll of the community?

        I disliked Threadiverse as well, for the identical reason, and pushed for Forumverse (ironically in a post that Rimu mentioned to me did not federate properly for several days, so it did not get much traction). But… nowadays I use Threadiverse, bc very established people (like Ada) have already been using it for years, and there doesn’t seem to be much of a practical reason to get people to change.

        Tbf, Lemmy used the term before Meta tried to put their dirty mugs on it. Why allow Meta to define us?

        I’ll use whatever people decide on though. That said, now that I switched to using Threadiverse, I do kinda like it. We speak in Threads

        Edit: that Comment button is way too close to the bottom of the editing window 😔. Anyway, we speak in Threads, and it rolls off the tongue more readily (in English) than Forumverse. So that’s something to consider.

        Also, for awhile I was saying “(Threadi-)verse”, as in The Verse. But yeah nobody seemed to get it.

          Strangely i find more difficult to prounouce theadiverse than forumverse. 😅

          It’s not that meta define us. Lot words changed over time due to our perception : as Deaf/Sumain, Queer, Handicap…it’s our perception that defined them.

          Anyway, i hope it won’t boost the research of Meta app because we used threadiverse. I don’t want to freely market their word.

            Isn’t Meta defunct now? Someone told me that anyway…

            I looked it up and I suppose technically it still exists, but only just barely.

            These are all the exact things I brought up in my post, and others have both before and since. Whatever we want to call the subset of the Fediverse that encompasses forums/threads seems quite controversial.

            I suppose it’s back to Lemmy+PieFed+Mbin then.😜

              For Interstellar, I just say it’s an “Mbin/Lemmy/PieFed app”. It doesn’t exactly roll off the tongue, but it works :)

                And in that case, it’s actually better by virtue of being more precise. e.g. Thunder can handle Lemmy, I believe not Mbin at all, and while PieFed support should eventually come (soon?) I don’t think it’s ready yet.

                So yeah, that’s perfect, keep doing that!:-)

                (Edit: it’s so fantastic to see Interstellar, and the Threadiverse/Forumverse/Whatever, keep growing as it’s been doing lately! 😁)

              Maybe we are misunderstanding each other. I’m talking about Meta the company behind facebook, whatsapp…😅

              Facebook won’t die anytime because lot association and market created their buissness page there. All my Deafs friend use meta for their groups…

              Whatsapp is very very popular. For example in spain and other countries.

              Maybe people doesn’t comment that much but they read, like, share their contact, watch video…

              I think we should take action. They will lose their beloved app, they may not enjoy the new one. But for geopolitical reason, we shouldn’t allow those spywares in our territory and push common software : free software.

              For the name, you can do a poll here. PieFed allow us creating a nice poll. And i saw a creative use of poll with interactive fiction. :)

                Sorry, instead of “Meta” being defunct, I meant “Meta’s Threads”. And yes, I left Facebook a long time ago, but others remain, as they choose.
