I introduced kbin to someone today who asked what the fediverse was. I answered for them of course, but it made me realize that the concept is still technobabble for most people. The average joe probably doesn’t care or notice that server A is really talking to server B. Just have them find out on their own and if a mass migration does need to happen from A to B, just make a standard announcement.
I think understanding how federation works would eliminate a lot of the “Which network should I be on” questions, though. Because a lot of people seem to be confused about that. If I’M understanding it correctly, it doesn’t matter really which aggregator you use, because with federation you actually have access to the content in all of them.
You don’t have access to the ones which refuse to federate (for example, because they will only federate with instances that accept the same Code of Conduct).
