You do understand the entire structure of this Network is based on Star Trek, right?
How?
Are you...joking? It's called a Federation of servers.
I can't tell if you're being sarcastic or genuinely think the concept of Federation originated from star trek.
Ok sorry. It's called the Fedverse. As in universe. As in space. Its Star Trek.
The word universe as in fediverse has nothing to do with space or star trek... Universe in a broader sense just means "a group of all things".
I don't follow Star Trek. It's a genuine question. I hate went people like you just try to shame others for not knowing some random piece of trivia.
You're right, that was obnoxious. I apologize for that. But the concept of a Federation is big part of the show. As is not being a dick, which I just failed at.
Well said.
To circle back to other comments above, dick pro quo comes to mind.
