For those on traditional social media, I just say "What if Facebook and Twitter and YouTube could all talk to each other? People on Facebook could follow people on Twitter and people on Twitter can follow people on Facebook." Then they usually reply "that would be neat" and then I tell them "yeah, that's what we are building over here in the fediverse."
It usually is easier to give them an analogy related to something they are familiar with.
I actually have separate accounts on the different fediverse products - for me it’s the decentralization of instances that’s the most appealing.
Ironically as a fediverse user I had a visceral reaction to reading that. That sounds like absolute nightmare fuel to me...
True. But when talking to someone who lives on traditional social media, it is an explanation they would understand. Sometimes you have to meet people where they are, not where you want them to be.
