Seems to me the fear of overloading one instance over another will not happen after all.

But I do hope the Threadiverse can hit 500,000 consistent active users by the end of summer.

Give me that hopium guys! 💉

Might be part of why Facebook co-opted "threads"

[–] Zeppo@sh.itjust.works 9 points 1 year ago

FB had a different app called threads two years ago, which was a direct messenger that sent videos or something. Not sure why they recycled the name.

I don't know. The oldest I could find of the threadiverse was a month ago. FB has been working on threads since January. It's possible though, and I wouldn't be surprised.

Hopefully someone with more info will chime in.

It started popping up after Kbin became a thing and a term was needed for link aggregators together.

They actually had a previous app called ‘Threads’ that they canned like a year ago. It was an instagram messaging app iirc
