   If you're hearing a lot about the fediverse these days, you should know: Mastodon is not the whole fediverse and the fediverse is not simply a Twitter replacement. The fediverse is an entire ecosystem, built on something called ActivityPub. Learn more: https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2022/11/leaving-twitters-walled-garden

     @eff Ah! Thank you for this…I was confused reading about Jack’s new attempt at a Twitter replacement using the Fediverse for his blueskies product, knowing that Mastodon uses the Fediverse as well…room for all!

     @eff Distributed moderation. Let Clarence Thomas try to declare every instance a public forum, one at a time, when he disagrees with their speech.

     @eff I found this a bit confusing. It says that you can following people on different instances and they can follow you, but then also says you might pick your instance based on a common interest. I think that could use some additional clarification as to what benefit you get from being on the same instance as those with whom you share a common instance, if it’s not the ability to read their posts.

     Is it that your instance’s feed acts like a curated list of content relevant to that interest?
