I am really impressed by Mastodon all the efforts that the community is doing to explain the project and the decentralization to the "common people".
It's something that I'm doing for years now when trying to show how Movim works (it's a federated social platform based on XMPP, https://movim.eu https://movim.eu). I always have difficulties when showing how a social platform can work in a decentralized (or in those two cases federated) way.
The path that I'm taking for Movim at the moment is to start from the emails (in Movim the accounts and platforms are decoupled, you can connect using the same account on different instances and clients) and apply it to a social network and chat service (Movim is mixing social network and chat platform in the same UI) but I see often that it's not "easy" when people are used to centralized solutions.
