   @maria @shoq I think this gets easier once other non-microblogging projects on fediverse gets more mainstream. Its much harder for people to relate to an explanation that tells how there is different server software for microblogging. Its easier to show them how you use your twitter-equivalent to follow friends on an instagram-equivalent, and then seemlessly also use the same account to comment on a video stream that uses a twitch-like.

     (I know!!! I have found it easier with some to compare it to e.g. Napster, if they ever used that, where people with different computers were sharing all the things)

     Would love to hear more tips on this from others.

     I just spent 20 painful minutes trying to explain the Fediverse and Mastodon to our local community association president. She made it seem like I was trying to explain string theory to a gerbil.

     Suffice to say, this isn't going to be easy.
