Interesting, I thought that was quite well known
I guess it's well known if you use either platform, but I can see it's not obvious to someone new to the fediverse and trying to understand it from the outside.
Yeah, I think it's fair to say nothing we do here is particularly well known in a broader sense. You're lucky if people have heard of Mastodon - if they know that it's decentralised that's incredible, and if they understand what that means you've basically encountered an expert.
It's a bit of a challenge that people looking at these sites from the outside will struggle to immediately understand what is really going on here. It just redefines the internet to a point where people cannot really understand it without having it explained.
