There’s been a couple of minor dust-ups on mastodon about the conduct of so-called “big accounts” there that I do not care to comment on, but it has got me thinking — do we even have “big accounts” on the threadiverse (Lemmy/piefed/mbin)? I don’t think there’s any handle I’ve seen where I’ve been like “oh yeah, that person.” Am I just bad at remembering usernames, or does the community/thread style of discussion remove all continuity for a single account?

    Isn’t Mastodon part of the “threadiverse”?

    Also, I feel like there are definitely names I see a lot and recognize, but I don’t think my memory for spelling would be able to write them down here… lol

      I don’t include it in my mental model, personally, but I don’t think the term has a well-agreed-upon meaning. I use fediverse for any federated activitypub server, like mastodon and pixelfed, and then use threadiverse for the community/post/thread style instances like lemmy, mbin and piefed. For me, the threadiverse is the subset of the fediverse where you say, “oh, that’s just like reddit!”

        Oh shit, you’re right, I think I got confused with fediverse. lol, I’m not sure i’d heard “threadiverse” until this post now that I think about it.
