Two things:
First, don't assume that just because you've never heard a word, that means no one has heard of it. There are quite a lot of us who know what the fediverse is.
Second, and this is a little pedantic, fediverse is a portmanteau, not an acronym.

To say “No one has heard of this band” is colloquial to English, but obviously other people have heard of the band, the hyperbole is used to emphasize how few people have heard, not that no people have. To correct someone here isn’t correct, it’s suggests a sheltered existence.
