If you were to demo the #fediverse to somebody who had never heard of it, and only had time to show one single feature, what would you demo?
I don’t mean a demo that focuses on #mastodon or #lemmy or #firefish or any other software, but that focuses on the special value that the network, the fediverse, brings.
One that gets the coveted “wow” in response to the demo. Thoughts?
@J12t
My "demo" would be showing them your post and the replies to it.
The Fediverse allows one to ask questions that may then be answered by people anywhere in the world and at any time in the future. That is astounding.
My first use of "discussion" software was back in the 1980's at DEC. As a Product Manager, I couldn't answer all questions 24-hours each day. But, our "VMS Notes" system allowed people around the world to answer questions. Today, that might not sound so amazing. But it is.
