We either have to create a new term and arrange everything in order, or let things be more confusing for the newbies (and media for that matter).
It's similar to the native writing script of the Philippines called “Baybayin”. Because of a certain group of people successfully redefined the meaning of “Baybayin”, it became very confusing as an umbrella label, and even became political.
The solution to appease both sides was to create another umbrella label, which was agreed upon by all parties as “Suyat”. And finally, the endless word war quieted. ^^
It's not exactly there to become common, rather, to give some order to things and keep it simple. We've tried explaining by using “email” and the “universe, galaxies”, but people still don't understand. Add to that, those who want to redefine the “fediverse” adding to the confusion. ^_^
