Everyone needs to know there's a Fediverse -- much like they need to know there's an Internet.
Referring to npub120zh308gs69j3vwgvvrzgglv58vsk3q0vef43uajyu0lc3mtldsq2p33r2 (npub120z…33r2) as a Mastodon app, for example, is kind of like referring to Wikipedia as a Facebook app. Yes, pixelfed (npub1q03…622l) with Mastodon, but it's not a Mastodon apps. Yes, Wikipedia connects to Facebook via hyperlinking and previewing, but it's not a Facebook app.
You wouldn't refer to Facebook as the Internet. This is why you shouldn't refer to Mastodon as the Fediverse.
