I don't like Fediverse explainers that show the logos of different Open Source software with networked edges between them.

Mastodon <-> Pixelfed <-> Lemmy <-> Peertube

It perpetuates the idea that there is one service of each of those packages running, and the point of the Fediverse is to connect those services. And that each one is a substitute for a commercial service.

There are 20,000+ Mastodon servers alone. Thousands of WordPress and Pixelfed servers.

The idea that the Fediverse is about connecting 5-6 servers, one for each kind of data posted, is really misleading.
