➡️ new acct link in bioImagining if Mastodon called instances "neighborhoods" instead. The metaphor works really well IMO and doesn't sound like robot-speke.
buttle@alexhillman I like "neighborhoods". But let's stop saying "instances" when we are taking about something else.
https://gnusocial.club and https://quitter.es are instances of #gnusocial
https://mastodon.social/ and https://red.confederac.io are instances of #mastodon
https://red.confederac.io and https://pleroma.soykaf.com are instances of #pleroma
They are all "nodes" or "neighborhoods" of the #fediverse
