Your reminder that this isn't Mastodon, this is the Fediverse. And you can optionally use Mastodon, or many other pieces of fantastic software, to access the Fediverse.

Tell your friends.

@gabek collectively we’ve all done a pretty bad job of making that clear er. The press didn’t help much, by making it sound like Mastodon was the fediverse.

PS
I don’t see a lot of Kangases around. I don’t suppose there’s a remote chance that you’re related to the famous internet legend, the late Steve Kangas, are you?

@shoq Not that I know of! The Finnish used “Kangas” as a suffix and most shortened their last names when coming to the US, so as far as I know I’m not related to many of them.
