Now everywhere I go it's neural network this and neural network that. I'm going crazy.

The solar flare just hit, all your digital lifetime's work is gone.

eg: "I'm on the Jabberverse! Message me using any Jabberverse app."

lol sounds stupid but so does every new term.

It intuitively evokes federation and a plurality or clients, even if a normie can't put it in words, something "Jabber/XMPP" doesn't really evoke in natural conversation.

def:

The distributed instant messaging network of federated clients and servers governed by the XMPP (Jabber) protocol.

Throwing it out there.

It might have been so in certain circles but there's never been a strong consensus afaik.

I took it apon myself to make a stand and narrow down a most applicable definition for the Fediverse on Wiktionary.
en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Fediver

@cwebber@octodon.social briefly gave contributed his opinion for the entry too.

Do you think it's a good idea to create a term like the "Jabberverse" to use with people?

eg. Instead of saying "use any app which uses the Jabber/XMPP protocol", say "Use a Jabberverse app". Much more natural and intuitive.

I think this could be very useful, like "Fediverse" for ActivityPub. Language is powerful when used well.

Version 2 of the info graphics with clearer recommendations (#WhatsApp - Reject, #Telegram - Be careful, #Signal - OK, #Matrix/#Quicksy/#XMPP - recommended, #P2P - recommended).
