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.

    perhaps only 3 “houses”

    For the simplest example, you only need two. I’ve heard people explain it as “Reddit A” and “Reddit B”, with some success.
