This infographic is still incomplete; I’m posting it here in the hope that I can get some feedback about it. It has three goals:

  1. To explain what federation is. No technobabble, just a simple analogy with houses and a neighbourhood.
  2. To explain why federation is good for users.
  3. [TODO] Specific info about the Fediverse, plus some really simple FAQ.

Criticism is welcome as long as constructive.

EDIT: OK, too much text. I’m clipping as much as I can.

    The X icon looking a lot like a swastika… didn’t know if intentional or if others would pick up on that. Maybe sub for some other icon?

      The similarity is totally a coincidence. Just like the one between a certain someone’s “my heart to you!” gesture and a Nazi salute. /s

      All three (the bot, the Nazi, the pig) represent problematic kinglets of social media, who may or may not correspond to RL people.

        I’d like to order a high-quality PNG of that symbol, please. Preferably located in a central white circle on a red flag.

        (no, really; I want that as an image macro, but I lack the skills to make it)

          It looks like a great flag for X. Very suitable for its leftover userbase and owner. I bet they like strong colours.

          [Grab it while hot, otherwise imgur might delete it as it doesn’t know the context.]
