Most of these names are absolutely atrocious.

[–] BananaIsABerry@lemmy.zip 9 points 1 month ago (3 children)

To be fair, are there any social media platforms that don't have a kind of stupid name?

[–] Bronzebeard@lemmy.zip 8 points 1 month ago

Most of the big ones at least have some kind of coherence behind their naming scheme.

The open source stuff is like: prehistoric hairy elephant, misspelled name of animal used as a metaphorical comparison for people doing dumb shit in a mob which seems to be insulting it's users, and then some random words slapped onto the word fed - none of which sound good.

Its one of the two hard problems of computer science after all

I thought Diaspora was a decent sounding name. If it had more traction and actually pulled a sizeable diaspora away from Facebook it would have fit better than Facebook, Twitter/X, or Instagram's names.

The outer right one? This is lemmy. A link aggregator like reddit

[–] TachyonTele@piefed.social 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Right. But what's the one on the left?

[–] 9point6@lemmy.world 12 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Piefed?

It’s like Lemmy but with consolidated comments, flairs, spoilers, polls, topics, feeds (like multireddits), proper blocks, hashtags, piped video integration, disclaimer messages, better mod and reporting tools.
