What's up with so many activitypub services having really cringe names? (lemmy.selfhostcat.com)

Piefedi, lemmy, fediverse? I want to share them as reddit alternatives but their naming is super cringe. Did people find Reddit’s naming choice poor in the beginning?

Instagram make sense but it's not catchy and use the name of a very old tech. I wonder how many young people still know about telegraphy machines. You are right m abiut mastodon but i think it's still catchy and easy to remember
