minus-squaresloonark@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up14arrow-down2·1 year 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-squareNewNewAccount@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up10·1 year ago“Tweeted” sounded very weird at first too though. I think thread/threaded, as a verb, is fine.
