Slightly unrelated but I feel like there has been such a proliferation of -verses from the Metaverse to the MCU that I’ve developed a negative association with all -verses as a marketing ploy despite my love for the Fediverse specifically. While probably not a realistic replacement, I think it’s fun when people sometimes use “the Federation” as it makes us sound like a network of allied planets engaged in intergalactic combat in a pulpy sci-fi series.
I agree, let's go full Star Trek and call it the "Federation of United Communities of Earth."
u want sum fuce?
I like that! I've called it the Federated sites before instead of the Fediverse.
Agreed! If we all just start calling it "the Federation", maybe it'll stick. Also, i hate that "Fediverse" makes me think of Kevin Federline.
