No, it's not. If you look "a little bit" closer then you will understand what a decentralised network is and the the "fediverse" - combination of "federated universe" - quite clear.
I don't see it in such black and white terms. People should be served with the important and correct information right from the start. We are in the #Fediverse and I don't see the point of repeating the same mistakes that were made with Mastodon.
We are obviously assuming different things: You think that there are only uneducated people out there. I assume that there are many interested people who would like to be fully informed.
I don't agree. The term "Fediverse" must be mentioned at the very beginning of the introduction - the decentralized network must be understood as the basis of the whole. People have made the mistake for too long of selling Mastodon to people as the Fediverse - that's just wrong.
