I’ve taken a liking to threadiverse, though I think it might confuse some people given Meta’s Threads and Metaverse, people might assume it’s a mix of that.

Since Meta's Threads died, and anyway usage of the word Threadiverse predated its existence, I finally relented and now use Threadiverse. Or Fediverse. Forumverse kinda sounds cool too, though generally speaking nobody seems to want to use it.
What to call this stuff...
Jokingly:
webweb, 'cause it's a web of websites.
cross-fora, 'cause they're like cross-posts but entire forums.
newsvents, 'cause a lot of the activity is venting in news post comments. 😉
memecycling centers, 'cause it's a lot of reposts of old memes/shitposts.
Realistically:
Whatever instance/site I'm directing someone to.
stick-in-the-mud-tangent
I'd never tell someone to go to WordPress if I was telling them to go to a site built with Wordpress, that'd be silly and out of touch. It'd also be out of touch to use some jargon that means nothing to them like "threadiverse".
All the pointing to these backends as though they're platforms like the corporate platforms shows how much they've conditioned people into thinking in their terms. The major benefit to these backends is they're more open, enabling greater mobility between the instances of them/sites built with them.

I read this as Plemmy (pronounced like Phlegmy?) and was like "ew, no!"

I would say Men of Low Moral Fibre but that's not inclusive...
On a more serious note (compared to my previous comments), I don't think this is a good idea. While it has the best of intentions, it only leads to further fragmention and confusion.
