minus-squaresloonarklinkfedilink10•2 years agoI find it interesting that they chose the name Thread, because it doesn’t really work as a verb. “She threaded the news to her fans” doesn’t have the same ring to it as “She tweeted the news to her fans.”

minus-square@NewNewAccount@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink8•2 years ago“Tweeted” sounded very weird at first too though. I think thread/threaded, as a verb, is fine.
