Peter Gossner wrote an extensive Fediverse tech glossary. Here's the Dedication excerpt:

"For Artists and Hackers, Academics, and Admins.
 For Humans who Grok stuff. Those self taught, and persistent.
 For those who build for Us: Tools to own and run.
 For People in Community: Who will not be a Commodity,
 For Our Internet, And all who sail on her.
 Useful may it be. Save time may it much".
