@Mastodon "improve how well it communicates what Mastodon is"

can you make clear, that mastodon is a software that powers fediverse instances and that the fediverse is the network you are part of? many users seem not to get that and i think it's due to unclear communication, on the homepage

it currently says: "Mastodon isn’t a single website like Twitter or Facebook, it's a network of thousands of servers"

but mastodon is not a network! the fediverse is, but never mentioned

@davidak I sort of get that point, but then again: You could say the "Mastodon" network is a network of #fediverse servers that run the same software with the same assumptions and feature set. Unfortunately, even to date the #fediverse still works best if you interact with users that are on the same software as you are. Hopefully at some point this will change/improve to really make the #fediverse more "one network" of people that can interact without barreers regardless of whether they are on Mastodon, Friendica, Misskey, Pleroma, Pixelfed or whatever floats their boat.
