#Mastodon is just one type of server software to run an instance in the #Fediverse.
So it is not the platform, it is not the network.
Also someone who operates a #Fediverse instance using the #Mastodon software is not Mastodon itself.

@nick@hhmx.de @nick@norden.social @sl007 @claudius None of this is new. However, Mastodon is undoubtedly the most well-known software in the Fediverse.
Anyway, where is this kind of argumentation supposed to lead? That Mastodon, the Fediverse, and thus ActivityPub remain a tiny niche forever?

This shouldn't be new, but i had the feeling, some information was missing.

@nick@hhmx.de @nick@norden.social @sl007 @claudius This is probably what others mean by that attitude mentioned above: #Mastodon, #Fediverse, #ActivityPub is technically/structurally simple to understand and therefore requires no explanation.
What does, however, need to be explained is the potential advantage of this technology compared to alternatives. And even more importantly: the simple #marketing of these #ideas as an advantage in everyday lives!
