To those Twitter migrants who are generally pissed off about all this talk regarding the Fediverse:
We talk about it because it's critical information.
If you operate a car, you better know how the brakes work.
On the last social network you were on, you were essentially driving a car without breaks.
Mastodon, and other apps, have the equivalent of brakes. It's called "federation".
So I'm going to be especially nerdy right now. If you don't like it, tough.
Want to avoid yet another social network that crashes and burns?
Learn how federation works!
If an instance you're on is terrible, migrate to another.
If you're encountering trolls and neo-Nazis, block their entire instance.
If you want complete control over social media, start your own instance.
Federation: those are your brakes. Now don't crash your car!
