It's been a while, but happy to share a #tilvids exclusive video today! "What is Mastodon in 180 Seconds?"🐘

If you find this video helpful, consider sharing it with others. Hopefully it can serve as an easy entry-point for folks new to the #Mastodon community! 💙

Thank you very much! ❤️ My hope, like I said, is that it can be useful in helping people new to Mastodon!

Doesn't the video start off on the wrong foot by saying "Mastodon is a Technology" when anyone with a browser can quickly find Mastodon gGmbH?

It goes on to explain, showing the common #fediverse logo-diagram and then explains #ActivityPub, while calling it Mastodon. I confess I stopped watching at that point.

"Mastodon" is not "like email", it is like Hotmail, or Outlook, or Gmail, a wrapper app for the #W3C #ActivityPub standard protocol, and ActivityPub IS very much like email 😏
