Mastodawn

decentralised social media is a really amazing idea that will live or die on the successful communication of the concepts

unfortunately "instances" and "federation" are not even a tiny bit self-descriptive and that's a real shame

here's a concept I just pulled out of my ass -
Instances > Planet
Federation > Galaxy

I'm a member of the mastodon planet and can see the planet timeline. to see all other planets at once, i view the galaxy timeline

don't even need to explain that really

@Fiona History shows that platforms live based on how many of it's Ambassadors are famous. Fame does not need to be taken in the wrong sense of it's implication here; Fame held by a person who has naturally become well-known by being super-extroverted and getting away with it a lot to the advantage of others! Sometimes you here people call them "fun" people to be around -- If all the "fun" people to be around are here being social then all the best Ambassadors are here - permanent win-win.. no?
