Except your instance is using PieFed! There's also Mbin, nodeBB, flarum says that they will join, Mbin and PieFed also share with Mastodon, ... it's a party up in here alright! ๐ฅณ๐๐
I think "Lemmy" refers to the threadiverse the way "Kleenex" refers to tissues.
That's the part I was reacting to - it's non-inclusive, as opposed to e.g. Threadiverse or wider terms such as Fediverse or Social Media or even Internet.
That's like assuming that every person you talk to on the internet is a neurotypical cishet man, or that everyone on Reddit is from the USA - even if statistically speaking true, it is not very welcoming, nor terribly precise.
Then again, this is !memes@lemmy.world... which tbf is Lemmy. Though the way the ActivityPub Protocol works is that you don't "go on lemmy" so much as your software of choice goes to grab it for you. And it is great to have choices for how we want to share content together!
Yeah, but if you ask for a kleenex and I hand you a Puffs Plus with Aloe, are you really going to throw it back in my face and say "I SAID KLEENEX!"?
I mean... some people are royal jerks, and would do exactly that, yes.:-P
It doesn't make it right, just bc it happens.
