Well.. I think we all are Fediverse-preachers when it has to come to explain what this is about. So, the other day I was doing it (you know: preaching 🤣) and someone replied: "Ok, so.. it is like IRC, isn't it?" And I was like: "hummm... let me think... well... yeah! It is!" And yes! This isn't a chat, but it still works like IRC, and I love it. I think IRC is the best "social network" ever made and I've always missed it.

@leoschuldiner23 hell yeah. And IRC is still around, and yeah, can't believe it never caught on more. Well, yes I can. Because the crappy profiteers that came and basically ruined the internet in the 90s and 2000s wouldn't let it. Something that doesn't turn a profit?!? Can you IMAGINE? 😲🙄
@jake4480 good old times... It is like when we were kids and used to play outside, on the streets. Today that's less and less common and we know why :( especially in big cities.
@leoschuldiner23 If you use Mastodon from the command line, it looks quite similar to IRC.
