What do you, in practice, call the federated social media network?
By "in practice" I mean the name you use when you aren't thinking about your language usage carefully (as opposed to what you think it should be logically called).

in reply to Urusan • • •I regularly use both Mastodon and Pixelfed in an interoperable fashion, e.g. boosting posts from one on the other. I also hope to use other Fediverse software, such as BookWyrm, in the future.
So while I sometimes use "Mastodon" as shorthand, I talk about the Fediverse the majority of the time, since that better reflects my actual experience.

in reply to Urusan • • •ActivityPub _sounds lile_ the name of a web standard, so folks' eyes glaze over and they stop listening immediately, but I don't like to mention *just* Masto, because there's so many to choose from and we don't want to encourage a monoculture.

Not completely joking (but yes, a bit), I usually say "Mastodon", but try to always point that federated protocols are the foundation of the internet. BGP, DNS, SMTP, heck, even HTTP! are all federated and decentralised.
