And it seems karmacourt will be the first to posit that the fediverse is worth “putting in its place”, going by the upvotes in such an empty community that probably discourages those kinds of suits.

Well that’s a new term for me. Sounds… Wildly racist lol
Yeah, it’s genuinely considered quite racist these days.
It’s an outdated term, definitely. An alternative would be the Telephone Game, which is the same thing with a different name.
Chinese Whispers isn’t literally Chinese whispers. It’s the name of a game kids play in school. Kids line up, then whisper something in the next kid’s ear to pass it along, and once it reaches the last kid, it is spoken out loud to see how much it evolved.
I think here it’s being a metaphor for hearsay.
[Completely off-topic] Where I live this game is known as “wireless phone” (telefone sem fio). Now thinking, it’s kind of weird how the name is still there, in a world full of cell phones.
