@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?

@evan I tried all these names and it never comes when I call it.
@pauamma oh no!

fedi and #SocialWeb. shocked that so few use SW.
maybe I should use a different term tho since I don't want us thinking of it as separate. imo it's an attention layer for the web. any digital work we publish should be boostable. when that mindset takes hold, the closed platforms will seem anachronistic.
