@aral If I only want to watch cat videos, I don't need to know, let alone understand, how the internet works, about VPN, fillezilla and different browsers as long as I have something that establishes the connection. Be it via dial up modem and the stuff on the good old AOL CD or fibre optics and Vodafone.
What I am taking away from this: The other parts of the fediverse exist, but at the moment mastodon is the only bit, that is important to my interests and I can forget about the rest.

The only stuff I saw about the fediverse so far was that image of a tree with "those parts are all for wriring and those are all for something with web and this one is like that other program you once used way back when and..."
For me that image proved, that there is nothing for me there.
What "Wow, this is a true game changer and utterly awsome!" am I missing here?
