    Fediverse also sounds like it gets the wrong idea across to a regular person (“does it have to do with ‘the feds’?”)

    It’s short for federated universe… I like the term actually, but hey, we don’t get to choose the name as far as I know.

    I personally like Mastodon, but last time I namedropped it, people were like “ohh, I love that band”

    Yeah, also love the band to be honest 😂… but sure, if it was said in context of a social media networks convesation, I’d get what you’re trying to say… or at least ask “not the band, right”, lol 😂.

    I feel like we’re in a naming crisis haha

    Naaah… how do you think Linux users felt when they started using it and found command names like cat, grep, tar 😂.
