I introduced kbin to someone today who asked what the fediverse was. I answered for them of course, but it made me realize that the concept is still technobabble for most people. The average joe probably doesn’t care or notice that server A is really talking to server B. Just have them find out on their own and if a mass migration does need to happen from A to B, just make a standard announcement.

TLDR; most people’s reactions to the word fediverse.

    i just wish we can keep the terminologies consistent, even calling magazines as subs/subreddits.
    people don’t want to learn another set of terminology when all they want to just to refer to that thing they want to point to.
    i don’t even like the word “boost”. just give me up and down arrows and it’ll be good enough.
