@volpeon oddly enough, Apple’s terminology was much more specific about what “apps” were: GUIs, basically (whereas CLI programs were called “tools”)society

@volpeon@mk.vulpes.one @xerz@fedi.xerz.one This angers me to no end. Whenever I try to explain some software-related thing to someone, I always realized they no longer use (or never did to begin) "program" or "software" or "game", it's "app" for everything :akko_angry:

@maryjane Gargon is partially to blame, because if you look at the marketing for Mastodon (by that I mean the official website) then it barely mentions that Mastodon is part of the larger Fediverse. Contrast that with, for example, Pleroma's landing page.But a lot of blame is to be put on journalists who can't seem to wrap their heads around the concept. But then again, Mastodon is the one getting the most new users, so in a sense it really is Mastodon specifically that's the hot new thing.

@maryjane Addendum to this, while I partially blame Gargon, I don't attribute it to malice. I suspect it's just a matter of making the service seem as simple as possible on the outside, to attract outsiders. A lot of people apparently have trouble understanding Mastodon even before hearing about the many other services that can integrate with it. It's a sort of "dumbing down" necessary to make the product appeal more to mainstream folk.

@cirno My addendum, I also do not attribute malice to your version of the meme.FWIW what I have often seen, even by fediverse users is that in an urge to explain what the fediverse is, they try to simplify the message, and the service easiest to explain might actually be mastodon, for a number of reasons. Then there is also hype, how media covers it. Personally I think that reducing the description of the wonderful bazaar that is the fediverse to just mastodon is demining to the fediverse.

@cirno But I also do not think folks do it out of malice, this over simplification.

@nicemicro @cirno In P2P networks every comedic song in English was misattributed to Weird Al, every comedic song in German to JBO and every non-English song sung with a deep voice to Rammstein.
