If you're trying to explain to someone else how this place works, there are some short simple videos which may help:

"Mastodon in 180 Seconds" by @tilvids

"What is Mastodon?" by @Mastodon
fedi.video/w/m9L9gYXJypnywSyCh

"What is the Fediverse?" by @Framasoft

Each of these takes a different approach, with the first video being the simplest, but they are all aimed at a general non-technical audience.

Please remember, everyone, don't just share this video here on Mastodon. Most of us here know what Mastodon is (we're using it).

This video works best outside of Mastodon to help people learn and encourage them to join.

As a new user of Mastodon, I'd say my main concern now would be: how to DM my friends/followers with an invite link, a message explaining my reasons for making the move, encouraging them to follow the invite, and the links to these explaination videos.

I'm no techie, but I suppose some app(s) that automate the sending of DMs would encourage faster adoption in greater numbers.

This said it best. #Mastodon is what you make of it, not what some billionaire or CEO wants you to be reading. You're in control.
