@FinchHaven@ophiocephalic Please define fediverse for me. I've provided my understanding of fediverse: The network of all ActivityPub (a protocol) servers ("instances") that federate (possibly indirectly) with mastodon.social.
Please try without using a non-standard meaning for "use" or other common English words. At least, please let me know when I'm using a non-standard definition.
I'm trying to follow your logic, but I find it a bit circular right now, and I'm looking for a foundation.
