Your explanation of federation that it "works like email" will be misunderstood (transfem.social)

The linked post shows how most non-tech people's understanding of email is very very different from most of the people here.

I didn't pick my email my employer did. Other then work ionly use email for account verification, password reset and trqcking shipping. No really i have only sent a dozen or so emails not related to work.

One way to help the feediverse is to drop federation. No one uses that word no one knows what it emans. At best they will be "so its like Star trek".

Lol, I saw "drop federation" and thought you meant the concept itself, not just the word. "Well that doesn't make any sense" I thought. Got it now.
