Some talks I've given on fediverse stuff over the years:
Social Solutions to Social Networking, about cool stuff you can do when you're not scaling a huge platform - https://videos.theconference.se/darius-kazemi-social-solutions-to
Trust is Not Harmful, about what we mean when we talk about trust and "trustless" on fediverse vs web3 - https://vimeo.com/354276253
Squishy Amoeba-Like Objects, about topology of federated communities - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qxBu5Tktm1g
The first video is probably the most "intro for a general audience" of the three.

“Friend Camp as a website lives on a server, it's a computer, which means it's a piece of metal with etchings on it, and you put electrons in it, and electrons all move around, and it's connected to the internet through, you know, the phone, or whatever, I don't know.” —@darius 👏
