The interface is nice and friendly, but the way the fediverse and the different instances works is kind of confusing. Still not sure what that's all about
~~Doctor Strange~~ Nutomic broke the barriers of the ~~multiverse~~ fediverse and now everyone from each ~~universe~~ instance can visit the other. A lot of stuff is the same like they all have ~~spooderman~~ c/memes but all of them are also kinda different in their own way.
And ~~DC~~ other instances are in the ~~multiverse~~ fediverse too but aren't allowed in the ~~Marvel universe~~ particular instances for ~~legal reasons~~ personal reasons so you might sometimes have to go to a ~~DC movie~~ different instance in disguise with a ~~fake mustache~~ alt account.
This is my understanding of it
Thank you it all makes sense now
If you think about it like Email, it's exactly the same. Why we have multiple instances? Well why does the United States has multiple states with different laws and governments? That's what federation is about.
