I agree with the last sentence but Threads seems like a completely appropriate name for the service. Online conversations have been called threads for decades
social media platform called posts when
Right but it could've had a nonsense name, like Troods.
....Troods would have been enough for me to try it out so fair point
I'd fucking love Troods.
That just makes it too generic to trademark then. Imagine an automaker called "Cars".
Or a social media platform called "X."
The name just reminds me of the film. So I just assume that like the film the site is nightmare fuel and avoid it.
