     @koyu@fedi.koyu.space Cool. Yet they still don't mention the existence of the fediverse and other fedi software.

     @SuperDicq And thats still a good thing. Mastodon is hard enough to setup, no need to confuse people even more with other software. You have to understand that people do not care and do not want to know everything, but just see a few bits to convince them that it's worth to sign up.

     @fabiscafe@mstdn.social Look at the main website of Pleroma or Misskey Hub and tell me they are confusing. Both of them mention the fediverse and the existence of other software.
     
     I don't think your zoomer attention span argument holds up at all.

     @fabiscafe@mstdn.social I personally because of their omission Mastodon's website is actually really vague and doesn't explain what it is all.
     
     Is it a protocol? Is it a network? Is it a frontend?

     @SuperDicq The pleroma one, I think is to techy and at the same time missing an explaination of why it exists.

     The misskey one much better on the main page but the server list is kind of bad.

     While now I get you point in the telling the story of the fediverse on the main page, I still think it doesn't belong there on a user facing page as it's not relevant and confusing. Should be in the documentation, tho.

     @SuperDicq Its an app. Pretty easy to explain and thats what you see on the pictures too.

     Nobody knows what a protocol or a frontend is. Network is also barely a known concept. Thats something that is documentation stuff, not for the enduser-facing site.

     @fabiscafe@mstdn.social Nobody knows what a protocol or a frontend is.If you're talking to my grandma maybe. But I assume that's not the intended enduser. I'm very sure that the average social media user understands the difference between an app and a platform for example.
     
     Personally I think without mentioning Mastodon is part of the fediverse you're missing the whole point as to why someone should use Mastodon (or other fedi software) over centralized social media.
