@Albertkinng I'm not @mimsical but I'll try:

Simply put, your social graph is the people you interact with. Twitter, BlueSky, FB and all corporate social media algos show you what THEY think will keep you engaged. This causes you to interact more with some and less with others, which changes your social graph.

Mastodon simply shows things in a chronological view. Your social graph is influenced purely by who you follow.

@plasticmonkey @Albertkinng Happy to help!

It is one of those concepts that we all know intuitively but happens to have a very jargon-y name. Often just a line or two of explanation is all that is needed... :)

Ergo, if a Mastodon server suspends our account, we have legal right to our Following & Followers provided that data was not 'accidentally' deleted?

@Albertkinng @mimsical The follows and followers that connect you to those around you in the platform. They form a graph -- in the sense of vertices and edges, not a plot or chart.
