Comment on What should the subset of the Fediverse that is Lemmy + Mbin + PieFed be called?

  Anything containing “fedi” is going to scare people coming from the USA, for the foreseeable future, unfortunately:-(.

    As an American, I don’t connect “fedi-” with the feds.

      That is halfway a joke.

      We also still have Fediverse, to encompass everything that implements the ActivityPub protocol, e.g. Friendica, Mastodon, Pixelfed, Loops (planned but not implemented yet iirc?). So the Threadiverse/Forumverse/Whatever is meant to distinguish from that.

      But Bulletinfedi is distinct enough I think?
