when I say 'fediverse' people think I'm saying 'fetiverse' and sometimes they ask if it's like open source fetlife. 🫠
TBH the kink community has been needing a replacement for fetlife for a while
Oh my gosh, how nothing changed when all those people were getting murdered through the site? So scary!
In my native language, fediverse translates to "fédivers" which sounds like "faits divers" the "incidents" or "'news briefs" section of a journal.
I have people asking if it's a site for fans of crumbly cheese.
I do love some crumbly cheese, so I'll allow it.
just tell them "yes!". they will figure it out :-)
Better than people assuming it's a joke about it being full of feds, which I've seen before.
When I mention the Fediverse to my gf she thinks I am talking about the "Fedeverso" an allusion to "Fedelobo" a Mexican YouTuber who looks a lot like a lot of Mexicans (hence the "Fedeverso") I don't blame her lol.
Whenever I see’fediverse’ I still think it has something to do with Roger Federer.
I've seen people ask why the Fetaverse has nothing to do with cheese
