Welcome!

Can you imagine, years ago how the internet was before? We know Facebook, Twitter, Tiktok, Youtube. We knew blogger, Tumblr, Skyrock... and long before, it was the forum era as phpBB..and mail-lists.

And now with ActivityPub, we are reshaping the web, and achieving much with lots of freedom. So thank you all, and welcome 🤟😁

In fairness, I agreed with his first point to an extent about the difficulty normal people have even understanding the concept of instances. I did once to try to explain it to my mom and was completely unsuccessful. The best metaphor I came up with was that it’s like choosing your local AAA office. You know they’re all AAA but this one might have a theme or perks that you prefer over others. It’s not Location based it’s more theme-based, but same idea. It’s not perfect, but she still didn’t really get it. But then when he refused to demonstrate his solution to the problem, and said we’ll have to wait for his next post to find out, my mind started wandering and I stopped reading.

You haven't ever used email before? That's an obvious and easy explanation that most people understand.

It wasn't my intention and re-reading it I can't find anything that will make it nicer or less nicer. 🥴
