That said, it's much easier to just send someone a link to one instance and tell them to make an account there. But then, I want people to understand what they are doing.

1) they don't understand what the federation means.
2) they don't understand why there are multiple instances and why it matters (or doesn't matter).
3) they don't understand why fediverse has different platforms/software, even though it's the same network
4) it's hard to choose an instance.

On X (and "X"), it's much easier. There's only one instance, only one software, only one company who owns everything. Nothing to choose from.

In the last few months, many people basically "invent" mastodon (not as software but the concept) without knowing. They describe it to the public, but never name it, because they don't know. They say, someone should build something like this... Who tells them?

It's great that a few public german institutions switch to fedi.
