This is possibly the clearest explainer I’ve ever seen yet about #activitypub/#mastodon.
Also a great intro to how #fediverse works since the video is also on it’s own instance.
Gonna spread this far and wide!

Lately, everyone seems to be trying to jump ship from Twitter to this new thing called “Mastodon”. Watch our video to learn more about it.

Nice vid. Tip for everyone..
Open the #Peertube link from your microblogging (e.g. #Mastodon) and give that you like and a boost too. The like will show up below the @tilvids video and help make people see that peertube is also attractive for them to reach an audience.

@jlgatewood @jikodesu I’m curious to understand better how Mastodon is managed as a whole. How is it not a company when it has a CEO? (I was just reading a mashable article about this.)
@tsyum @jikodesu
I believe it’s managed under an open source project in the same manner as Linux.org manages the linux kernel or Mozilla manages Firefox. Most large-scale open source software have a similar structure.

Mastodon – Decentralized social media
@jlgatewood Comparison with email appropriate only to some extent.
I would like if someone differentiate #mastodon vs #fedivers vs and #pubsub

Here you go:
Mastodon – a microblogging/status posting software package that uses ActivityPub to federate between other instances of servers to form a mesh network of social media servers and services.
Fediverse – the nickname many have started calling this federated mesh network; it is a term that describes a network of social networks that can communicate with each other using open standards and protocols. The word Fediverse is a combination of “federation” and “universe”.
PubSub – Pub/Sub is a term that stands for publish/subscribe, which is a design pattern for asynchronous communication between different components or services in a distributed system.
