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’m so pissed right now. I thought I was joining the fetaverse but I can’t even find a single user talking about delicious crumbled cheese made from sheep’s milk

Stick with the pvre cvlt fetaverse principles here!

I actually make this joke…I say it's not fetaverse like the cheese, but fedi as in federated* 😄 always gets a laugh

* (Although, there's no i in the word federated, so that's odd 😜)
