a bunch of my really good buddies on the birdsite are talking about masto and they are confused about how to get into it bc federation is confusing and I am torn between going in and being all techsplainy or just...not. ha.
@phire How I described Mastodon to a friend is that there are only 2 meaningful differences to the user:
1. You get 500 characters rather than 140
2. Your address is now explicitly @user@instance. On Twitter the "@instance" part could be implicit because everybody is effectively @user@twitter.
Once you know those two things, pick a site and create an account, the rest can be learned as you go.
