Anytime I mention it to people IRL they look uncomfortable before I explain it’s the federated universe of distributed social platforms.
That moment of 😬 is due to the name Fediverse sounding like ‘Fetiverse.’ These people aren’t sex obsessed. Most are tech professionals who were on Fark, SA, Digg…etc.
How do y’all navigate this homonymous quirk?
I wish it was hypothetical. Two slightly awkward conversations prompted this.
In that case, sorry to break it to you: It’s hard to swallow (no pun intended), but sometimes you just have to accept that people of your immediate acquaintance or relation are utterly unkinky.
