Why do so many European instances use the name Feddit?

I believe, feddit.de was first. Then the admin of feddit.it thought it was funny and copied it, and then it kind of became convention…

Guess it’s short for “federated reddit”?

Probably an incomplete list of feddit instances:

Wait…feddit.de changed to feddit.org? What happened?

Really disappointed that italy doesn’t have fedd.it

Especially since fedd.it redirects to feddit.it. Wow, now I’m actually disappointed.
