People still keep asking me how federation works. So I made two images to show the difference.
Image 1:
"Centralized"
That's how Facebook and Twitter work.
Most things really.
Pretty self-explanatory.
Image 2:
"Federated"
That's Mastodon.
People connect to servers and the servers share data with each other.
E-mail also works like this. It's why you can send mails from Gmail to Hotmail

@quad good explanation actually! Thanks 👊🏻
@quad but you can't send emails to Hotmail, it's wrong to talk to people who uses Hotmail ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@Jude still better than yahoo mail
@quad but being shot in the leg is better than Yahoo mail, so it doesn't mean that much
@quad Thank you
