@thatonecalculator @atomicpoet @fediversenews Okay, good to know! Though I have to say, I really love Calckey’s UI. It’s probably the one Fediverse platform where I’d feel like I was losing more than I was gaining with a third party app.

@hypolite ohhh okay interesting. I’d heard about the law, but didn’t know all the ramifications of it. Thanks for the explanation!

@hypolite oh yeah, everything of mine was completely made up not based on actual use. I definitely agree that fédivers sounds better and it’s probably advantageous to have a word that is closer to the original. It would also be interesting to find out the origins of “Fediverse” and how long it took to become the widely used term. I don’t know enough about Québécois. Why do you think they’d be more accepting of a different option than French?

@hypolite @liaizon yeah I figured it was something close to the actual word. I just wanted to play with an option that respects the adjective noun order even if it sounds a bit silly. With either fediverse, and by extension fédivers, I asked a French friend who said “it sounds like "faits divers" (minor news) in French, so in my head I don't take this word seriously”. Two others said “we’re not fans of made up words” and “portmanteau is where you hang your coat in French”. So I gave up haha

@liaizon well in Swedish federated universe is federerade universum. So I guess you could have a slight modification of fediverse, something like fediversum. However, since it’s pretty common to borrow from English words in Sweden, I feel like it’d be more natural to just use fediverse.
In French, it’s univers fédéré. So maybe something like unifédé. This one I kinda of like, it looks and sounds a bit like unified.
