> hellthreads have been a thing on the fediverse since forever "hellthreads" have been a thing on the internet since people started interacting with each other on the internet. I don't think people on the fediverse invented the word either, the first time I saw something named "hellthread" I think was on early Twitter. Also, I don't think anyone is claiming that Bluesky invented the word. The article just says that a particular thread started being called such, and specifically "the hellthread" instead of the general "hellthread".
