Catodon is not typically considered Threadiverse, although nodeBB is and flarum iirc would be if it ever gets around to implementing the ActivityPub Protocol for itself, but perhaps that situation would change to become more inclusive! The concept itself may start to get fuzzier as messages are able to be passed between Fediverse platforms, though it also makes sense to me to have names that provide distinction as well - like Loops is for videos, and Friendica is user-based, so even if you could view that content from software like PieFed or Mbin, the community-based topical (aka threaded) discussion format still warrants a name.

The microblogging format could use a name as well except right now Mastodon is pretty much considered just the default, so that Fediverse==Mastodon to a first degree of approximation, to most people who aren't informed.

I love the fact that we might need new names for these, if the concepts outgrow how they are currently being used! (Sadly, Lemmy has a very toxic userbase, especially Hexbear, and this will severely limit growth from Reddit users who see no reason to join here - or who leave after giving us a chance, while complaining to others how bad their experiences here were while they were here.)

And I’m the least of people who are saying the twat’s a fascist. Not seeing anything in your comment history that says you’re dying on this hill against anyone else. Go annoy someone else with your fucking apologia.

Is requesting using basic logic moving the goalpost? Do you even know what boot licker means?

If you find a combination of characteristics that is unique to fascism, then it is fascism, until then its just badly extrapolating incomplete data

What kind of moron do you have to be ah wait you got me now it's one out of fifty!

But I get the feeling that he wants to be right more than anything

Yes accountability, etc, is needed. The variant I'm in favor of is stuff like a content addressed protocol where you can "fork" a forum to substitute misbehaving mods (or server admins). But removing layers of moderation can not be a solution. Bluesky's atproto has similar mechanisms but there's not a lot of activity in making forum-shaped sites with it.

And all of this on top of him not bothering to tell anybody who exactly he was blocking with that list or why.

People aren't calling each other stupid

Uhh, what? Did you even read the comments on this very post?

Consider the possibility that you're in a bubble made out of titanium when you're here.
