Piefedi, lemmy, fediverse? I want to share them as reddit alternatives but their naming is super cringe. Did people find Reddit’s naming choice poor in the beginning?

    Fediverse make sense it is a combination of federation and universe. Pixelfed too, you get fed pixels aka images. Lemmy and mastodon may not have obvious connection to what they does but they are still catchier named than facebook, instagram and twitter.

      Fediverse makes sense but it sounds like some lame Disney thing.

          Your comparidon doesn’t look negative to me considering how popular disney is

          Is that a mastodon pun?

          I disagree by a lot. Popular doesn’t equal good. New Star Wars sucks. Recent marvel is copy cut garbage. The president won by popular vote but that doesn’t mean its not negative.

            The president won [the] popular vote

            Only if you ignore the huge amounts of voter suppression. If you don’t, then he lost the popular vote and the electoral vote - netting 45.8% of the popular vote to Kamala’s 52.7%, and he earned at most (and probably less than) 252 electoral votes to Kamala’s 286.

              Ok grammar nazi, that isn’t relevant to my point at all. What’s popular isn’t always good.

            From a marketing point it’s good. Of course popular do not equal good from a quality perspective
