when I say 'fediverse' people think I'm saying 'fetiverse' and sometimes they ask if it's like open source fetlife. 🫠
When I mention the Fediverse to my gf she thinks I am talking about the "Fedeverso" an allusion to "Fedelobo" a Mexican YouTuber who looks a lot like a lot of Mexicans (hence the "Fedeverso") I don't blame her lol.
In my native language, fediverse translates to "fédivers" which sounds like "faits divers" the "incidents" or "'news briefs" section of a journal.
On peut faire un site "Faits divers sur le fédivers"
The Fetaverse. Only Greek cheese.
TBH the kink community has been needing a replacement for fetlife for a while
Oh my gosh, how nothing changed when all those people were getting murdered through the site? So scary!
Better than people assuming it's a joke about it being full of feds, which I've seen before.
just tell them "yes!". they will figure it out :-)
I have people asking if it's a site for fans of crumbly cheese.
I do love some crumbly cheese, so I'll allow it.
Whenever I see’fediverse’ I still think it has something to do with Roger Federer.
I've seen people ask why the Fetaverse has nothing to do with cheese
