@evan It depends. Conversationally, it's Mastodon, because people have heard of it and I use it, and there's a "but also not necessarily Mastodon" footnote that's a great foot-in-the-door for the ActivityPub conversation even for non-technical people. But I use Fediverse more commonly in structured work.
I hate "Social Web," because it sounds like a euphemism for the "five websites sharing screenshots of the other four" thing, and the web is much more than conversations.

@evan
This depends on what is 'it' you referred.
ActivityPub is the protocol Fediverse used, while Mastodon is one of the implementation.
If ActivityPub = Fediverse = Mastodon, then how should we call Pixelfed / Lemme / Misskey? -

@hiker @Huubje @evan if we’re being pedantic here, then Outlook is a bad example. A good example would be using the word “escalator” instead of “moving stairs”.
For non-tech people, the chance of the word “Mastodon” ringing a bell is much higher than “Fediverse”.
In day-to-day interpersonal communication the goal is to be understood, not to be as precise as possible.
@broadway_lamb @hiker @evan it's also a matter of not scaring away "normal people" and having a pleasant conversation. Most people don't give a rat's arse about the technical merits of platforms they use. I instead mention the aspects people can relate to, such as the focus on actual social interaction and it's lack of influencers.

@evan You forgot option 5, that some people subconsciously view it as: Exploitable Resource.

@evan can we really call it the fediverse if Roger Federer isn’t an active member?
