I’m here because it’s eventually going to be the better alternative.

FOSS by its nature, will keep on improving. And proprietary bloatware, by its nature, will only gonna get worse.

      based on the same concepts as email, you pick your provider (instance) and you can get messages from anyone using a provider supporting the protocol. The naming system is similar @<username>@instance and !<community>@instance

      You are in your house, I am in mine. But we can still watch movies together through your window.

        What I am not understanding is the concept of logging in another server. I created an account on feddit.it, can I use this account to login in a mastodon website? Or does it work the other way around, with me just using the feddit.it website (like I’m doing right now) to consume content from other instances? With the second option, if feddit.it goes down, my account is done, right?
