Let's say someone created a Wikipedia clone with Activitypub support, so you can freely read and edit articles on other servers. Basically the same way that Lemmy works. What would be a good name for such a project? Bonus points if the name goes with a cute animal mascot.

Edit: Here you can see the names of existing Fediverse projects.

If you are a copy, you will always be in the shadow of the original

They're a copy that most would agree surpass the original (Hydrox). I'm just being asinine.

Ok, I didn't know that. I was thinking of copy as in similar name like adidos will never replace adidas and neither will sadidas (even though it's a palindrome while the original is a close miss). So I expect something wrong with the name but we just misunderstood each other.
