If you're just getting started on here, you may be wondering why this place has so many servers and apps. Why make it so complicated?

Twitter is all on one server (twitter.com). This made it VERY easy for Musk to buy it. Any centralised network can be bought out just like this.

The Fediverse is different: as long as we stay spread out on many servers, no one will ever be able to buy this network, not even the richest person in the world.

@feditips People, including me, are confused by the results when we search for someone on Twitter who may not have supplied a complete enough address. We are seeing instances like @twtr.plus, beta.mstdn.cf, birdsite.wilde.cloude, birdsite.thorlaksson.com, etc and assuming they represent stolen identities, esp. of more well-known people. I'm guessing they aren't, but not sure where to go for an explanation. It's causing some to avoid creating Mastodon accounts.

@feditips I just posted this on my birdsite as well. I didn't know that the Fediverse included other types of servers! I'm interested in trying out WriteFreely when I have more time to write... 😁

@feditips I liked your sentence, even the man in the world couldn't buy the entire network, a very strong sentence, well done.

@feditips I’ve been on Mastodon since shortly after Elon killed the bird app for me. I enjoy Mastodon but it’s not anywhere as intuitive to use. I still can’t figure out how to initiate a new message, “toot”.
