That page looks very helpful!
I giggled at them trying to explain Mastodon, though:
> There is no such thing as a social network called Mastodon! Instead there are thousands of independent social networks called Mastodon Instances.
...three paragraphs later...
> When we say “Mastodon” we mean the whole network of Mastodon Instances
I know what they were going for, but it seems to undercut itself. :)
- jxramos 4y agoyah, there's no instance called Mastodon, Mastodon we can consider at the meta transcendent level of the universe of instances. The union of each essentially.
- numpad0 4y agoThey do that kind of gymnastics because they can't have (pawoo.net and) mstdn.jp and half of top instances[0] by post counts to be representative of the name. That will kind of push the platform into where Twitter is, just later, maybe following NovelAI. 0: https://fediverse.space/instances https://fediverse.space/instances
