    "you know how you can’t talk to someone on Twitter.com from facebook.com? But you can email from your @gmail.com to someone with an @yahoo.com address?

    That’s the difference, federated social media is like email in this way."

    I’m mostly sure even my elderly parents understood it when I said it…
