Let's stop saying Fediverse is federated + universe and start saying it's federated + diverse

[halcy@icosahedron.website]

@Gargron @evan this implies the existence of someone or something that is „fediversest“, opening up endless debate opportunities

@evan

The fediverse is the set of members who are not members of any set (hello, Bertrand 👋 ).

@halcy @Gargron @evan bring on the fediversity

[gaditb@icosahedron.website]

@lritter @halcy @Gargron @evan I'd follow that up with "Fedequity, Fedinclusion", but the moment the contraction of "federated equity" passed my lips somebody who never accept that "DeFi" lost even fake relevance teleports in front of me like an Enderman.

@gaditb @halcy @Gargron @evan oh btw https://mastodon.gamedev.place/@lritter/115947237277057061

@evan Can it not be both ?

[naturemc@mastodon.online]

@evan Please let's stop to tell people how they have to behave in the Fediverse. I'll don't stop to explain the federation of instances by planets and communicating aliens, and you may call them diverse. The universe is diversity pure!

@evan
Fedevism, anyone?

[evan@cosocial.ca]

@Gargron "federated" has always been an adjective.

[gelbphoenix@social.gelbphoenix.de]

@evan So "Federse"? The word Fediverse is, after all, a portmanteau of Federated and Universe.

🤔

"Ya gotta keep 'em federated." 🎸🎵🤘

[gargron@mastodon.social]

@evan Yes, but this seems like a non sequitur? We're talking about "fediverse", not "federated".

[gargron@mastodon.social]

@Aleums @evan I understood the original post as being about the etymology of the word "fediverse".
