Anytime I mention it to people IRL they look uncomfortable before I explain it’s the federated universe of distributed social platforms.

That moment of 😬 is due to the name Fediverse sounding like ‘Fetiverse.’ These people aren’t sex obsessed. Most are tech professionals who were on Fark, SA, Digg…etc.

How do y’all navigate this homonymous quirk?

    What is the fetiverse? I’ve never encountered this issue. The main issue is there’s not enough activity for people to want to use it when I bring it up to IRL friends
