But there was only 11 votes total (this was prior to the absolute explosion of PieFed users). Rimu also suggested Foriverse or The Federation or The Federated Platforms that actually Federate Properly or FPFP for short. And Snoopy liked Topicverse.
Threadiverse (34); including extremely strong support from creators of Mbin, NodeBB, and elsewhere I’ve seen Ada; does not include additional upvotes to other comments also saying to use Threadiverse, e.g. another one below that with 18, or another with 12
Forumverse (29); also other support in comments below that e.g. one with 13
the negative answer that anything containing “-verse” is automatically bad (25)
“A quorum of forums.” (14)
“The linked linkers, because we’re link aggregators that link together.” (8)
The Verse (or Le Verse, 8)
Lemmyverse (or Threadiverse, 8)
Topicverse (7); plus others with smaller vote counts e.g. one with 3
#Threadiville (6)
cross-faggregatorverse (6)
apparently Fediverse in 2008 was simply called #Identiverse, prior to ActivityPub (5); seconding the hatred towards anything with “-verse”
aggriverse (though was this supposed to be “aggreverse”? anyway, 5)
yes, even back in that poll irelephant suggested “boardnet”! (5 upvotes) also “forumnet”
Lembipie (5)
Lemmyville (4)
gnu-verse (4)
bulletinfedi (4)
“Fedivotes” or “Votiverse” (4)
The Linux hangout (4)
open social web (2)
Lempiebin (3)
Mycelium (2)
Censorverse (hehe, 3-6=-3)
So Threadiverse won by an absolute landslide, with AT LEAST +17% more votes than the next runner-up, Forumverse.
Personally I like irelephant’s suggestion of “forumnet” better than boardnet. But the main obstacle is the hard-liners who do not want to budge from Threadiverse. Perhaps they might if something were clearly better and started to catch on?
