It gets tiring to write Piefed/Lemmy/Mbin to call our part of the Fediverse, is Threadiverse now the accepted term?

It’s still the Fediverse. While things are connected, not everything has to be absolutely connected. There’s still work to be done.
Except that’s the premise new joiners are told when they join the Fediverse “everything is connected”.
Turns out it’s not, you have Mbin/PieFed/Lemmy on one side, then Mastodon/Sharkey/Iceshrimp on another, and the support between both is rudimentary, as people commented below

Not on Mbin at least… I follow plenty of people from Mastodon/Other services from this MBin account and interact with them time from time

So you didn’t mean to reply to me in the first place?
I did, I was making a comparison how comments words such as “meta” and “threads” shouldn’t be owned by corporations

Whilst I agree that they shouldn’t, it’s a fact that Threads exists and, as far as I know, is not part of the Threadiverse but is in an adjacent space. To the point where I personally, someone involved in the Fediverse, am not sure whether it communicates with the “Threadiverse”. Mastodon does, for example.
If we were talking about a family of phones called “Threads” then that wouldn’t be all that confusing, but when it’s another social app then it’s a mess.

Is Zuck still using the term Threadiverse? If it was a one-off, then I’d write it off and take back the darn term.

If you count Mastodon, then Threads does indeed communicate with the Threadiverse. Here on Mbin, I can find federated accounts from there, like this totally random guy which do have actual posts. So looks like everything is federating over well.
