I'm talking specifically about calling the network, ie the interconnection of independent softwares, as "mastodon". It's not about explaining how mastodon works, it's implying everything works this way. This very platform we are using is definitely not mastodon, but is definitely part of the fediverse
I do not understand your gripe on this. We know the network is the Fediverse (Federated network) and that the platform is Mastodon, just as this platform is Lemmy.
Their original complaint was that OP called AtProto "Bluesky", presumably that's what they are still complaining about. And reasonably IMO. Saying "Bluesky" instead of "AtProto" is like saying "Substack" instead of "blog".
