interesting article.

I understand the fact that you do not want to make it to.complicated, but there qte soms other things you might try to squeze in:

• other microblogging software besides mastodon (miskey, pleroma, gotosocial. ) who are also the fediverse I understand that you are mainly addressing people who come from twitter/X. A lot of people equate micro blogging with twitter .. and twitter with microblogging. It is interesting to note that micro blogging is just a service, and twitter and mastodon are just two examples (be it the biggest ones). But there is other microblogging software out there! And, due to the fediverse, you are free to use anyone you like.

You can mention that these othersoftwarei offer other perspectives to the same service. Eg. a service like hubzilla has a more privacy-oriented approach.

• You mention mastodon pixelfed and Lemmy as the fediverse replacement for X, Instagram and reddit (services people know). You canalsoo mention services like friendica (which has a more FB like interface), or peertube, librecast, (videos and videostreaming) , funkwhale (audio),/ WordPress (for macroblogging) .. or less know services that do not have 'big name' tech behind it (eg bookwyrm for books, agenda-sharing services, .. or even activitypub based chess).

I understand that listing all of this would be to much. It is however interesting to make people understand that social media is a lot more then 'the big three names they know', both in the variety in the types of services social media offers and the choice of software inside each segment)
