@cwebberChristine Lemmer-Webber @GargronEugen Rochko @Aleumsmanic pixie donkey kong yes, and last time I did this exercise, the term was in use without a definition on identi.ca. I think @laurelrusswurmLaurel L Russwurm 💉💉💉💉💉 was one of the first users. Regardless, unlike "blog", there wasn't an obvious proposal to use the term.

Yes, it is also my recollection I was one of the original adopters of "fediverse" as federated + universe (as in the federated universe, as used in the all-inclusive greeting "good morning Fediverse" before we coined !TZAG) .

What I don't understand, Evan, is why you want to redefine it,? It seems to me the word "universe" is by definition both ultimately diverse and absolutely inclusive.
