Gregory's Server@ditol @yala @FediverseSymbol people especially in the US who hear it first time think it has something todo with „feds“ like „federal law enforcement“. Not everyone likes or likes to be associated with feds. I also read some people talking about feudalism, although this might be a bit far off.

 @ditol @yala @FediverseSymbol I just explained it, I have 0 issues with it personally. Im against change anything here. The problem is, like other people said, if you are in political discussions in a somewhat global community. Some people may have bad thoughts about the term and/or might not understand the origin. Sure other words have the same problem. Also this is not an US only problem, people have coined the term internationally. |

Seriously? This is it? So the world has to go by American realities? Again?
I guess, French should stop refer to their universities as "fac", this sounds bad to US-Americans too.
