Good article, but the key issue of social structure is missing: democratic ownership, governance, operations.

Nice to look at your guide again: https://runyourown.social/

The article didn't start off well at all, I at first thought. I almost didn't even get to the third paragraph before I stopped reading - just another misinformed journalist penning an article schilling the mastodon brand trying to get people to think there's even such a thing as a 'mastodon network' - there isn't.

But then it began to open up and bloom. Really glad I didn't give up in that second paragraph. A little heavy on tech in the middle for lay persons, but a great article.
