It’s a term for insiders. My mother will never talk about “the fediverse.”

The “Open Social Web” is a much better term. It tells you everything you need to know.

It just sounds really dumb. The word "federation" was right there.

A little too long and generic. I think Fediverse is fine as long as we treat it as a name and don't force people to necessarily understand what it means. People understand names, they're the most human thing there is
