“Hey, are you on Mastodon?”
“I joined The Mastadon network if that’s what ya mean.”
“Wait an instance. You are both using the Fediverse protocol.”
“Ha. Well… I joined the Threadiverse and like that way better.”
“Is Lemmyverse connected to that?”
“Dunno. Let’s ask at ActivityPub.”
“Yay, beer 🍻 It is Friday.”
“ActivityPub isn’t a real pub, it is a community of sorts.”
“Hi there… dialing in from the #Pixieverse 👋 Can you see me?”

If it wasn’t clear, this is satyrical. The fragmentation of the Fediverse as a grassroots movement has good and bad aspects. Good, because it highlights its diversity and with that comes resilience. Bad, because we got Facebook coming our way, along with countless corporations that’ll follow in their wake… they can easily flood what we have under a see of branding and marketing (and yes, you’ll be able to avoid that, but the Fediverse won’t be the same).
