Isn’t mastodon apart of the Fediverse?
Autocorrect makes it apart regardless, so I guess my phone decides what I say
REAL men turn autocorrect off. Do not let your phone make spellling mistakes, instead, make them on your own.
Gatekeeping the Fediverse? Cringe
We gatekeeping liking the Fediverse now?
Shall we not start this whole thing again, it’s like the X isn’t really Linux debate all over again
I don’t get it.
People who say they love the fediverse are usually talking about Mastodon, not Lemmy.
Maybe. Or, like most users, they are aware that “fediverse” refers to the ActivityPub network as a whole, as well as adjacent networks such as matrix and diaspora.
When I say fediverse, I don’t mean Lemmy. If I want to refer to the part of the fediverse we are using, Lemmy/Kbin, I say threadiverse. It’s just one corner of the network.
I have no interest in the twitter format for social media, but people who do and enjoy mastodon, have just as much right to be excited about federation and what it can do for social media.
What I don’t understand, is why make this meme? Neither Lemmy nor Mastodon, is “the fediverse”. Only together, do they become a “universe” of federated instances, and even disparate platforms, which yet interoperate.
A Mastodon user who says they love the fediverse, likely loves it for the same reasons a Lemmy, Kbin, Friendica, Pixelfed, or MissKey user does. Where’s the joke?
Where’s the joke?
With this post I just described some people I’ve met on my journey through fediverse that were saying that they love fediverse meaning by it only Mastodon, as if it’s the only platform out there. It’s a small number of people, that don’t affect anything. Of course after spending more time on fediverse they find out about other platforms(and that’s good). The point of the meme is just to make a little fun of them, nothing offensive.
I doesn’t matter which platform is a users point of contact. I don’t think a lot of users miss the point that “fediverse” refers to all the platforms their platforms communicate with, together. Not just their platform.
It’s a shame how often people forget us. Though could be a good thing given how much drama there is in some parts of Lemmy
