Is there really a reason, for example, for there to be the distinction of “magazine” and “community”? When you’re federating, the same features should be called the same, if close enough. That way everyone can talk with everyone about stuff and we all immediately understand each other.

Would also alleviate confusion for any new adopters.

^I’m pretty sure this is going to be impossible though, since each sides egos will likely get in the way :D^

    Yeah, language can be changed by a (conscious?) design decision. But whether that change is necessary is up to debate and just because you could doesn’t mean you should.

    Some users will learn the terms and some won’t but what I mean is that it’s a hindrance either way. And defense isn’t “that’s language” the defense is “that’s my design vision”.
