I think the fediverse is having a naming issue too. Most people don’t realize Lemmy is basically just the forum days of old, but you can share your account everywhere. (yes the code is more complicated but the users don’t need to know that)

Not even that. I’m getting serious Usenet vibes (from the early 90s, not the thing it has since devolved into). Even the decentralized paradigm with independent servers syncing with each other is conceptually similar (although I’d bet NNTP was a quite different protocol than what we’re using now).
