Fediverse also sounds like it gets the wrong idea across to a regular person ("does it have to do with 'the feds'?")

It's short for federated universe... I like the term actually, but hey, we don't get to choose the name as far as I know.

I personally like Mastodon, but last time I namedropped it, people were like "ohh, I love that band"

Yeah, also love the band to be honest ๐Ÿ˜‚... but sure, if it was said in context of a social media networks convesation, I'd get what you're trying to say... or at least ask "not the band, right", lol ๐Ÿ˜‚.

I feel like we're in a naming crisis haha

Naaah... how do you think Linux users felt when they started using it and found command names like cat, grep, tar ๐Ÿ˜‚.
