I did this and he just said, “so it’s like email servers, but for more than emails?” I can’t believe this is the best way to put it.
Not even email. Usenet is almost identical to Lemmy. There are many Usenet servers which talk to each other and synchronize their message groups. And you connect to one of them with a local account.
IRC as well but more chat like.
Of course there are differences in the fediverse but the big concepts are hardly new. People are trying to overcomplicate it.
Fair enough. But email is the most pervasive example we can use today tbh.
I’m in my mid-20s… I’m the last of the generation of people who know that there’s more than just Gmail and Outlook. The fact that Outlook is actually a client as well as a host is something people might not even know today.
Have you tried befriending anyone other than that cat? I mean, actual people may be easier to explain such concepts to, and given even a hardened introvert such as myself managed to make a few human friends along the way, it’s not that hard of a task…
I don’t have too many friends(humans XD) but i always try to bring them here.
I have a difficult time understanding why people have difficulty understanding the fediverse and its otherverse islands. Lol
I don’t known but they just don’t understand. Maybe more i have to try over simplified version like magic. 😆
I mean, they’ve seen it before.
Unless they’ve somehow survived until now without being exposed to this thing called email.
