It appears that Threads is working on a Communities feature called "Loop", which might be similar to subreddits or X Communities.

      I agree that’s there plan, but aren’t groups already a part of the activity pub spec?

      Depressing, but luckily I believe there are enough of us here who will stay.

    Pixelfed’s dansup is working on a federated short video platform called loops. It will be unfortunate if they end up with a naming overlap, especially if meta decides to be all aggressive with trademarks, even though this other project was announced months ago. I don’t think dansup has a crack team of lawyers ready at his fingertips.

    In that thread, Gargron (the Mastodon dev) saying that they have groups on the back burner is a bit of an understatement (the code to support Lemmy-style communities has been sat languishing for ages).

      Maybe this will make them release it?

    Are they choosing the names on purpose to mess with the fediverse vocabulary? Thread, when they are part of the twittoverse but not the threadiverse and now Loop like the TikTok-like federated social media from PixelFed…

      I would say they probably are, but it’s way more likely than not that this is intentional. Why call communities loops? What about a community makes it a “loop”? It doesn’t make sense, unless they’re deliberately trying to cause confusion with fediverse terminologies.

        We could mess back. We cannot influence much their userbase but we could make sure to stick to our vocabulary and rename Meta’s thing. For example, Thread should be rename MMT (Meta’s Microblogging Tool) and Loops, their “communities” Bubbles.
