Hello comrades, I’m new to this and looking for resources to explain the fediverse to a dummy, hopefully with simplistic drawings. I understand it is essentially an “open source social media format” created for ease of moderation and to protect user data from corporate use, but I don’t understand the concept of federation vs de federation of other social media site data.

So I’ve found that it’s helpful to think of federation similar to email. Email is a protocol standard that anyone can implement. I have a gmail account and I can send and receive email to anyone with an email account, even if they don’t use Gmail.
I think of it as website forums that connect together, every site and member can block/allow whatever they want.
