  I've been under the impression people started using the term threadiverse to describe the Lemmy/Kbin side of the fediverse because we exist in Reddit style threads and interaction with microblog style fediverse posts is obtuse at best. We're practically in a separate bubble over here, and that was the cause of the new term.

    I hadn’t heard it once until threads started up. I didn’t join until the great migration, so maybe earlier people used it, but I had only seen fediverse to describe it.

      I think FediDB coined the term. It definitely existed before Threads had an official name though.

        I don’t disagree because I don’t know. Regardless, I hadn’t seen anyone use it until threads started up.

  What is the worse case scenario for me, a person living on kbin? What the heck could they do to ever possibly affect us

    If there’s one company you should preemptively block, it’s Facebook. They have a track record of destroying anything and everything they touch and there is zero reason to think it won’t be the same this time. From this post:

    They aren’t some new, bright-eyed group with no track record. They’re a borderline Machiavellian megacorporation with a long and continuing history of extremely hostile actions:

    • Helping enhance genocides in countries
    • Openly and willingly taking part in political manipulation (see Cambridge Analytica)
    • Actively have campaigned against net neutrality and attempted to make “facebook” most of the internet for members of countries with weaker internet infra - directly contributing to their amplification of genocide (see the genocide link for info)
    • Using their users as non-consenting subjects to psychological experiments.
    • Absolutely ludicrous invasions of privacy - even if they aren’t able to do this directly to the Fediverse, it illustrates their attitude.
    • Even now, they’re on-record of attempting to get instance admins to do backdoor discussions and sign NDAs.

      This is a lot of text about Meta being evil which nobody disputes. But you didn’t answer the question.

        There are quite a few people answering that question in this thread.
