@thatonecalculator@stop.voring.me @petersterne@mastodon.social Expecting journalists to understand that is a fool's errand.

@thatonecalculator@stop.voring.me @petersterne@mastodon.social Doesn't matter, people use no-name facial tissues, and call them Kleenex. The general public want a condensed easy term of reference. They have enough problems getting their heads around the idea that Mastodon is not one online site/thing. The small percentage will get the idea of Fediverse, if other parts become useful alternatives. If a Fedi version of TikTok becomes noteworthy, then the concept may broaden. perhaps we will be lucky.

@thatonecalculator@stop.voring.me Well, they are specifically talking about Mastodon instances. They’re not using Pleroma or Misskey or other ActivityPub-based protocols. I know “the fediverse” is often used colloquially to refer to Mastodon instances but that is technically inaccurate. It’s the same way people often say “the internet” when they are technically talking about the World Wide Web.
