I was surprised when my friend casually brought up Pixelfed (he called it "Pixelfeed") and Bluesky the other day.

For the average person who doesn't understand or care about federated systems, "pixelfeed" is probably a better name. It feeds you pixels.

tbh I always thought of the original name as “being fed by pixels”

I'm guessing it's a pun on both fed meaning "eats, runs on, is powered by" and "federation/fediverse."
