I still hear a lot about how the term
#Fediverse is not catchy, and have the first impression of “The Feds”. Maybe it's time to use a new label?

A little context:
* Federated
#SNS first came online in 2008, with the platform known as identica (today known as
#GNUsocial)
* The Fediverse was called as
#identiverse back then.
* Other federated SNS platforms publicly launched in 2010, like Friendika (originally MistPark, and now as
#Friendica); and
#diaspora, to mention two.
* Someone suggested using a new term instead of “identiverse”.
* “Fediverse” was floated sometime 2010–2012, and the rest is
#history. (aside: If I remember correctly, diaspora came up with “The Fediverse” first, or it was inspired by “Fediverse”?)
That was us when the federated SNS was mainly techies. Ten years later, I think it is safe to say that the landscape has changed considerably.
Perhaps, let's see what the larger federated SNS feels and thinks about it, we need to find a more non-techie label for the federated SNS network (using the
#AcitivtyPub protocol).
The one and only rule is this, stay away from BRAND-based labels.
