They joined mastadon not the "fediverse". Like saying you used the internet but then only visited Facebook. Point 2 and 3 are identical on Twitter BTW.

  That analogy is a bit too harsh. How about like saying you went to Texas but then only visited Austin?

    No, it's not too harsh. A Mastodon instance doesn't even give you access to Diaspora* users.

      And Austin isn't Houston.

      Diaspora is not part of the fediverse and never has been. Diaspora is federated but has always used their own, separate protocol.

        There are three main sections of the Fediverse: OStatus, Diaspora* and ActivityPub. Most OStatus systems have migrated to ActivityPub, but Diaspora*'s still separate. https://friendi.ca https://friendi.ca gives you access to all three.

  People who don't fully understand certain emerging technologies are free to spread FUD about that technology to their hearts content. Nevermind that the Fediverse is not an emerging technology, having been in operation for almost 13 years* at this point. * https://web.archive.org/web/20201028234912if_/https://mastodon.xyz/@lightone/104188129431867733 https://web.archive.org/web/20201028234912if_/https://mastod... * https://web.archive.org/web/20210124192004/https://social.diekershoff.de/display/f3ad7b1c-145c-e10f-1e74-b7b177306491 https://web.archive.org/web/20210124192004/https://social.di...
