    Friendica user: “You say you want the Fediverse to have this feature? The Fediverse has this feature. Mastodon doesn’t, but the Fediverse has. The Fediverse is not only Mastodon. Friendica has it. Friendica has had it since its inception in 2010, over five years before Mastodon was launched. And Friendica has always been part of the Fediverse. And since Mastodon was launched, it has been federated with Friendica. So there.”

      god damn why do so many federated services have such awful fucking names that feel disgusting to say

      friendica sounds like a strain of bacteria that eats your ligaments

      TROCHEES, MOTHER FUCKERS, USE THEM IN YOUR FUCKING BRANDING.

      FACEBOOK. YOUTUBE. WHATSAPP. TIKTOK. SNAPCHAT. REDDIT. DISCORD. TUMBLR.

      TWITTER before it turned to utter shit partially because its name was changed to “X”.

      Hell even LEMMY is a Trochee and I think that’s part of why it’s managed to stand up to reddit this well!

      Even the big names that AREN’T trochaic get truncated to trochees! INSTA! PIN-TREST!

      They try to truncate Mastodon to Mast-o but people keep thinking THAT’S a reference to a disease too.

      fucking hell

      I’M MAD BECAUSE I WANT FEDVERSE SHIT TO SUCCEED AND IT’S LEAVING THIS PERFECTLY ACCESSIBLE LOW HANGING FRUIT TO ROT ON THE VINE WHEN IT NEEDS EVERY LAST FUCKING SCRAP OF HELP IT CAN GET

      the best time to change it was before it was made.

      the second best time is RIGHT. FUCKING. NOW.

      and the longer they delay, the more painful it’s going to be getting passed up by BLUESKY.
