Imagine choosing a fediverse provider for the first time.

You're using a guided service/server/instance/community picker.

Step 1: Do you prefer a service that:

1. primarily supports a specific language
2. is regionally relevant to you (maybe a city or a country), or
3. matches a theme or topic you care about?
4. something else (add your comment below)

Which would you click first?

(Boosts to non-English and Global South accounts are greatly appreciated.)

A lot of people describe certain words as a portmanteau of two other words, e.g. "fediverse is a portmanteau of federation and universe".

This of course assumes that everyone knows what "portmanteau" means.

Portmanteau is itself a portmanteau, combining port, from the Latin "portus" (harbour), and "manteau", a type of cloak.

In olden times, children of dockworkers would sneak into taverns by stacking themselves under one of these cloaks, pretending to be a tall adult.

Submitting a confession to Fesshole gives Fesshole permission to publish it. Duh. Also we DO NOT store your email - that asterisk saying 'required' is to stop people submitting blank confessions.
