Manton ReeceWatching CNN this morning over breakfast, they said “fediverse”… So yeah, decentralization is edging into the mainstream. Progress.
John Tracy@manton I can only imagine they did it in the same way Katie Couric spoke of email and the Internet with Bryant Gumble in 1994.
FilmWonkSerious question:
Did they refer to it as part of a news story and make an effort to describe it somewhat accurately, or was it more of a "two journalists giggling to each other about a word they can't quite pronounce about a thing they know nothing about" sorta moment?
Morning show mileage may vary, just curious what the vibe was like.
Ryan Welsh@manton Did they keep pausing then doing air quotes and saying, "This ... 'Fediverse'..."? Maybe a little eyebrow action when they try the word on out loud? A quick check of the notes?
That's the best, when they do that.
