     @tomey @Moon this very well might be a good thing in the long run, we will probably need to rebrand at sometime to get rid of all this awful connotations people are getting.

     @Moon @liaizon i have been guilty of referring to the fediverse as the "mastodon network" whenever it comes up AFK. greater chance of the person having heard about it. also, the word fediverse doesn't really roll off the tongue and sounds like i might be saying "fetiverse" like it's some social network for the fetish crowd. it kind of is that too, now that i think about it... but still.

     I find, the word "fediverse" rolls off the tongue nicely! I get no reaction when I mention it in the "centroverse". I. E. Twitter.

     @rabble Trump and co list that its their proprietary technology and fail to comply with Mastodon's AGPL license. Who ever writes Newsweek headlines isn't known for nuance...

     @liaizon It's not theft, mastodon is open source, Trump's well within his rights to make a copy of the code, change it, and run his own service.

     @Graylik @liaizon The media absolutely refuses to even acknowledge the existence of a non-commercial system based on open protocols. It's' infuriating how complicit they are.

     @jon @Graylik people just don't know. I have tried to explain free software to so many friends and its incredible how hard it is to get across how deep this all goes. usually takes a full day of discussion to really get someone to wrap their mind around it

     @liaizon The media is not talking about the rest of the Fediverse, but I'm kind of loving all this adjacent publicity.
