we're gonna have so many different names for Fedi before the major platforms even get here that everyone will be so confused.🤣🤣

@BeAware tell me about it. I lived in Japan so all social media is called SNS. There needs to be easier verbiage that encapsulates what the fediverse is. OpenSNS is that word for me anyway.

🤷‍♂️to each their own. Fediverse is what most people will be calling it though. Buzzwords catch people's attention better and makes them curious and interested sometimes.

@BeAware I'm not above calling it Fediverse-- been doing it since 2017 after all. Just also aware terminolgy changes depending on culture and geography too. Also does Fediverse only mean ActivityPub? Mastodon? Can Bluesky be included? Nostr?
It's kinda like how AOL and Prodigy (yep, I'm old) was called The Internet, and Facebook/Twitter were too up until the Social Media moniker stuck. It's all fluid, and just as you said, a buzzword away from complete understanding.
I guess when Threads turns on full-fledged bi-directional fedi powers, we'll definitely have the answers then

Fediverse is specifically ActivityPub.👍but yeah. Call it what you want. I was just so confused when I saw your post cause I never seen that term before.🤷‍♂️
