Fediverse sounds gross - Lemmy.World

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?
