It's been difficult to broach the subject and explain the technical concepts to the average person. I did have some success in first sharing the email comparison, which lead into interoperability.

I'm just curious to hear people's success stories, if you have any.

@technomad I’ve been keeping a lot of my friends aware of what’s going on in the fediverse (especially around Threads, which they’re more aware of) through a discord channel I run on our server that’s dedicated to what’s going on in the world of tech

Conceptually I prefer using the email analogy for how it actually works since that’s pretty close

Gatekeeping the fediverse isn’t good for it, get people to join up, you have control over what you see

That's cool that you run a server for your friends.

I'm definitely trying not to be a gatekeeper! Just need to keep trying I suppose, but not be too pushy.
