Comment on Flohmarkt - a Fediverse replacement for Facebook Marketplace

• Womble@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

  • Lemmy is no better or worse than Reddit
  • Pixelfeed is significantly better than Instagram
  • Mastodon is much worse than Twitter

  Seems to me pretty much an even spread of how good the names are

    For other Fediverse software:

    • Misskey is unmistakable which already makes it a good name
    • PeerTube is on par with YouTube and is perfectly transparent as a description of software: "YouTube but with P2P"
    • Writefreely is another clear but already proper name, definitely better than Medium or Substack (ony Medium's advantage - it sounds better in non-English languages)
    • Loops and Friendica remind better of their purposes than TikTok/Vine and Facebook
    • ... on the other hand, every Threadiverse app, no matter if it is /kbin, Mbin, Lemmy or PieFed, fails with it

    Lemmy is a stupid god awful name.

    The first result you get on google is a dead singer. Every other search you will have him on the front page instead of what you’re trying to find. Contrast this to searching for something from reddit.
