@jdp23 @rysiek@mstdn.social @smallcircles @fifilamoura @laurenshof @FediThing i’d posit that most uses of “fediverse” are in reference to a protocol, software implementation, or network of servers, and most uses of “fedi” are in reference to cultures, scenes, or communities, and start there when establishing a distinction

there are lots of fediverse implementations and lots of fedi communities but the two don't map onto each other cleanly at all
