    I can’t understand why every other fediverse name is so stupid as to be off putting to the average user.

      • Lemmy is no better or worse than Reddit
      • Pixelfeed is significantly better than Instagram
      • Mastodon is much worse than Twitter

      Seems to me pretty much an even spread of how good the names are

        For other Fediverse software:

        • Misskey is unmistakable which already makes it a good name
        • PeerTube is on par with YouTube and is perfectly transparent as a description of software: “YouTube but with P2P”
        • Writefreely is another clear but already proper name, definitely better than Medium or Substack (ony Medium’s advantage - it sounds better in non-English languages)
        • Loops and Friendica remind better of their purposes than TikTok/Vine and Facebook
        • … on the other hand, every Threadiverse app, no matter if it is /kbin, Mbin, Lemmy or PieFed, fails with it
