I honestly don't think this platform specific language needs to stick around. I really think a lot of that originated as marketing and has always felt somewhat unnatural to me. Particularly because the threadiverse/fediverse is made up of many interconnecting platforms it's pretty clear that these terms will cause more friction than anything else.

This is also why I prefer lemmy's communities to kbin's magazines. Communities feels more like a universal description while magazines feels like platform specific language.

This is it, imo. Especially because mastodon and kbin federate as well, trying to make an identity out of “lemmy” doesn’t really work.
