@cwebber Hello, Christine.

"Fediverse" is just a nerdy word that only nerdy people understand just like "Gopher" or "Usenet" used to be back in the day. "ActivityPub" is another nerdy word only nerds understand like "TCP/IP" or "IMAP"

We are still waiting for our "AOL" or "Google" to come and make this thing simple, useful and enjoyable for the usual non-nerdy mortals.

And we really, really want the usual mortals to come.

But when/if they do, we will hate them, chastise them for not knowing enough about federation and maybe even call this day an "Eternal September part II"

...a reference they won't understand, but we will know it's a devastating insult...
