Piefedi, lemmy, fediverse? I want to share them as reddit alternatives but their naming is super cringe. Did people find Reddit’s naming choice poor in the beginning?

To be honest, most other websites are not better, we are just used to them. Google? TikTok? Bing? Reddit? Yahoo? X? Twitter? ChatGPT? DuckDuckGo? XNXX?

Reddit is a fire name "I read it on reddit" would be such a sexy tagline.

Also duckduckgo is hilarious as a name
