@skobkin in fairness, I don't think @drq said anything about the *article* :blobcatthinksmart:

@dside Nah, I just find irony in the fact they are writing about it. The article's almost completely fine, if not for them carefully omitting the fact of the Fediverse being developed specifically as the solution to the problem their company created and stands to profit from in the first place.

@drq @skobkin one thing I find a little odd about it is that you both capitalize (as in, start with a capital letter; languages, amirite) "Fediverse", whereas they use "fediverse", as an improper/common noun. :blobcatthinkingglare:

@dside Isn't it the same as with 'the Internet'?

@drq quite possibly! I just find the split between different usages amusing.

…

Oh god, there is a whole article on this.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capitali

> This article is about using a capital letter for the word "Internet". For capitalization (in finance) regarding the Internet, see Commercialization of the Internet.
Oh :blobfoxcrylaugh:

@dside @drq It's just a habit like when we wrote "the Internet" for some time until we stopped doing that.

@skobkin I'm still doing that, it's a proper noun.
