Fediverse sounds gross (lemmy.world)

Anytime I mention it to people IRL they look uncomfortable before I explain it's the federated universe of distributed social platforms.

That moment of 😬 is due to the name Fediverse sounding like 'Fetiverse.' These people aren't sex obsessed. Most are tech professionals who were on Fark, SA, Digg...etc.

How do y'all navigate this homonymous quirk?

I don't talk about the Fediverse a lot, I talk about Lemmy. It's an okay name.

Lemme tell you about Lemmy, the community of loquacious learning

Yeah. I talk about the product directly.

Lemmy. Or Pixelfed. Or Mastodon.

I talk about the activitypub and decentralization.

I'm trying to remove Fediverse from the conversation because that's the word that starts to make people confused.
