Every Mastodon explanation is like "It's very simple, your account is part of a kerflunk, and each kerflunk can talk to each other as part of a bumblurt. At the moment everyone you flurgle can see your bloops but only people IN your kerflunk can quark your nerps. Kinda like email."

Back in the dark ages when I had a hotmail account and I casually mentioned the address to my parents... "And what do you be doing [raised eyebrow] on this HOTmail craic???" says the mother.

"It's just an email account."

"Don't be throwing fancy words at me all right..."

I used to think it was funny to tell my classmates I had a Hotmail account, but then spell it ‘hot male’ - which got a few laughs until someone pointed out hotmale.com was a porn site. 🤦

The first time we were let loose on computers in secondary school, some of the girls innocently searched "boyzone" in some random rudimentary search engine of the time, like Ask Jeeves.

The page it lead them to was not about the boy band and caused a change in the level of supervision of internet use.

I used to work in an international company and my job was to monitor how internet was evolving and give presentations to management. One big question was always what proportion of the population of each country was using internet. Back then, browsers were very basic. The only way to find the information I needed was to search for "Internet penetration". Needless to say, not all the results were statistics.

That's an awesome hack. How cool! I am able to read and write, but when I was in school I'd sometimes use the Microsoft Sam style computer voice to read digital files and it helped my brain. I love that your family is figuring out stuff that works for you all.

The #Fediverse in a nutshell:
You can post different stuff on one of a bunch of websites. You can choose which website, and see stuff from any of them. Different websites have different rules, and show different types of stuff like video, short messages, links etc.

> This is the first time Turbo Encabulator was recorded with picture. [ . . . ] The narrator and writer is Bud Haggert. He was the top voice-over talent on technical films. He wrote the script because he rarely understood the technical copy he was asked to read and felt he shouldn't be alone. [ . . . ]
> Dave Rondot (me) was the director and John Choate was the DP on this production. The first laugh at the end is mine. My hat's off to Bud a true talent.

@Evelyn fra denne andre øya @Ciara | Ciaraíoch 🎨 The joke is not on the recipient but on the communicator.

It is perfectly possible to explain the Fediverse without bringing up the kerflunks already in the elevator pitch.

I'm rewriting my essay to try to fix that. It's hard to write about stuff you know well for folks who don't. I could always use some feedback on the new version..

the astonishing thing is not that "toot" is a weird and silly word, but that we have all forgotten that "tweet" is a deeply silly word.
