Me trying to explain decentralized social media to anyone who will listen

Rules of the Fediverse:
- You do not talk about the Fediverse.
- You do NOT talk about the Fediverse.
- If a user says "disengage", goes limp, or taps out, the shitposting is over.
- As many people shitposting together as you want.
- One dogpile at a time.
- Eat the rich, fuck cars.
- Memes will go on as long as they have to - including beans.
- If this is your first time at the Fediverse, you have to do the no poop challenge.
Does anyone have an archive of the no poop challenge?
-
I hate the entire fediverse and instance jargon. It is off putting to mainstream users.
The Internet has always been "federated" with "instances". Yet no one ever said, "What email instance do you use."
What alternative terminology would you use to describe the fediverse and instances?

Server or provider. The same terminology that has been used for newsgroups and email for 45 years.

Fixed #7 to include the beans

Yay! Although now be careful, bc once beans have been invoked, jeans are sure to follow... (and then Taylor Swift's jet, pondering orbs, and so on, long may the cycle continue:-).

That's like saying webrings didn't exist, only discrete websites.
There's no such thing as a murder, you only have a specific group of crows

I blame @Blaze@feddit.org! He's always breaking them
