@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.

@velartrill @liaizon They didnt follow GPL license agreements, so its a bit more complicated than that.

@nitro @liaizon the only conrete accusation i've heard so far is that trump "didn't give mastodon credit," which to the best of my knowledge isn't a violation of the AGPL (in fact Eugen might very well have asserted a trademark claim against him if he tried to associate his instance with the Genuine Mastodon® Brand, so unless Eugen has relinquished the rights to the name, renaming was the only legally sane move). as long as the full source code of the running instance is made available to anyone who can access it without the names of contributors being removed, i don't believe trump or his people have violated any terms of the license. or is there more to this than the legacy media has been able to figure out?

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

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

@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 @Graylik one of the problems is that people don't process this stuff and it comes across as technobabble. At least for longevity, slow organic growth is a benefit over a rapid fad social network.
