The battle between Reddit and its CEO continues. With that battle continuing on, ActivityPubs user count continues to soar.
I feel like I’m going to refer to these places as ActivityPub in the future because I feel like kbin, lemmy, and beehaw sound a bit silly.
Fediverse also sounds like it gets the wrong idea across to a regular person (“does it have to do with ‘the feds’?”)
I personally like Mastodon, but last time I namedropped it, people were like “ohh, I love that band”
I feel like we’re in a naming crisis hahaAmazon? You mean the rainforest?
Yahoo? Like a crazy person? Did you misspell the drink?
Sorry, you just tweeted? You mean like a bird?
Tumblr? Oh, facebook for acrobats, right?Most names sound weird or confusing until you’re familiar with it. A googol is a number, but nobody bats an eye when you tell people to “google” something.
Fediverse also makes it sound like some weird Metaverse thing, which isn’t ideal either.

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 😂.

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