Who came up with the name “Feddit” for federated Reddit?
Everybody. Everybody who thinks of the concept of federated reddit instantly comes up with the name feddit
I immediately came up with the name “poop wagon shit horse” but nobody wanted to join.
Well, Mastodon instances usually aren’t called Fitter or Fex.
because “itter” does not share any sounds with “federated” the way “eddit” does
Ah, but only I came up with “Rederated”
Ruh-roh raggy!
Concerning feddit.nl, I can confirm it was set up at the beginning of June. Since it’s my instance 😅
Oh, right, I misread the registration date, plus you obviously know more about it than me 😅
I have to ask: why so many European country specific feddit instances?
We have more cultures, languages, and national identities clustered in Europe than anywhere else in the world. Naturally people want an instance for their own.
- more instances are better from a federation point of view
- might have to do with that almost every country had their own language and culture
Why not? To discuss stuff in the local language and discuss local news obviously. A local instance makes sense for that. Also allows you to place the server close by the country so that you get low latency.
Why ? Don’t you geddit ? :) (Guess cause languages and dialects)
