@feditips Hence, we should #SpreadFediverse and constantly inform everyone that there is a world out there.

But how can we make people explore the fediverse when:

1. People falsely assume that #Mastodon is the #Fediverse / #ActivityPub. That's like saying #China is #Asia.

2. When something is lacking in Mastodon, people assume it is the Fediverse / ActivityPub that is lacking. That is like saying chicken is the worst food because you've tasted McDonald's chicken, when there #Jollibee's #ChickenJoy is tastier and juicier.

There are now even people who praise a non-fediverse network based on those false assumptions above. They have time to research a non-fediverse network, but doesn't have the time to do their due diligence about the Fediverse; all because they falsely assumed they've seen everything.

It's like moving to a new country, settling in a new home, exploring their new neighbourhood, and then assumed that village they're in is a representation of the entire country.

If we can make people see, and make people explore their own “city” and “country”, then maybe, just maybe, the distribution of people in the fediverse will start to balance between the different forks, projects, and instances. It won't happen overnight, but maybe we can plant the seeds.

I left Arcovia earlier than expected and ended up trying a recently revived fried-chicken joint from the old days.

I thought the old #TomSawyer's fried chicken tasted much better. They're surprisingly cheap but #Chickenjoy definitely tastes much better.

I ended up adding a few bike parking stands I spotted along the way in #OpenStreetMap.
