@robertwgehl @jalcine I think Mastadon is a little like Hoover in that the term Federated Social Media is a bit of a mouthful, like the term Vacuum Cleaner so the first brand on the scene with a memorable name is used to label the concept. Once people are more familiar with the name they may still use the term, or derivatives, such as I am hoovering the carpet, even if the device they are using is not a Hoover.
