Thanks for the reply!

In my experience the term "fediverse" is more popular, while ActivityPub
is more technical.  On top of that,
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fediverse implies that Fediverse is
composed of more than ActivityPub instances.

Either way, I'm open to renaming the file if you really think it's
better.

Thanks!
