Sounds like something Zuck thunked up to EEE us tbh.

Full agree. Get his product's name as part of the general term and it'd confuse people into thinking it was the original.

The term has actually been rolling around for a few weeks, it's just used to describe Lemmy and Kbin, since they're based around threads instead of twitter-like posts. Nothing to do with Threads by Meta

Wheeljack ,

I've never heard the term "threadiverse". Where are you coming across it?

Lemmy and Kbin are the “threadiverse”, where content is submitted by users to specific groups and replies are shown in a tree-structure. In ActivityPub behind the scenes, I believe this is achieved by making non-user Actors that re-post everything @'d at them.

Mastodon is not thread based, users post as themselves and other users follow them directly. Then everything is shown lineally.
