A normal terminology also helps when explaining the concept of federating with other platforms, imagine saying: "When you join a pod, you can then send toots that can be seen by people in different magazines, even if they're on different platforms!"

I mixed the terminology of some 3 or 4 federated platforms to give an egregious example, but it helps drive the point. If we have a standard (the ActivePub) we can very well have a standard nomenclature for each feature.
