This thread really is Fediverse clichés in a nutshell.

Jupiter Rowland

The start poster literally states that the Fediverse and Mastodon are the exact same thing. He has been on Mastodon for two years, since immediately after Musk has bought Twitter out.
Another Mastodon user applauds.
A Friendica user reply-guys the start poster and Fedisplains that the Fediverse is, in fact, not only Mastodon.

I was tempted to jump in myself and correct that guy about the Fediverse allegedly only being Mastodon. But this has been taken care of.

Part of the problem is the way Mastodon displays profiles. Unless they click through and actually go to the profile on your server, they would never know you are not on Mastodon.

@Scott M. Stolz That, and they've never been told that something, anything, exists in the Fediverse outside of Mastodon that's connected to Mastodon. Whoever pulled them on board either deemed this information unnecessary or confusing, or they didn't know it themselves either.

These people only learn about the existence of a Fediverse outside of Mastodon either from a post that does loads of things which are completely impossible on Mastodon or from a reply guy on Akkoma, Firefish, Friendica, Hubzilla etc.

At least this guy did not freak out when he learned about the existence of a Fediverse outside of Mastodon. That is, I don't know how he'll react once a very un-Mastodon post hits his timeline.
