This infographic is still incomplete; I'm posting it here in the hope that I can get some feedback about it. It has three goals:
- To explain what federation is. No technobabble, just a simple analogy with houses and a neighbourhood.
- To explain why federation is good for users.
- [TODO] Specific info about the Fediverse, plus some really simple FAQ.
Criticism is welcome as long as constructive.
EDIT: OK, too much text. I'm clipping as much as I can.
I like it, but what I don't like is analogizing every site owner as monarchy. A lot of fediverse instances are run as non-profits (including ours) and there's also democratic experiments in instance control. I would prefer a different hat for fediverse, somehow :)
Phrygian cap maybe?
