fediverse, decentralized group of social media platforms in which each independent platform can interact freely with any other platform that is part of the group.

Great that they have an article on it, though their formatting the start of each article like a dictionary entry is a bit odd compared to Wikipedia.

If it were a Wikipedia article, it would probably need some copyediting to give it a more encyclopedic tone along with in-line citations.

Man, that "can" is doing a fuck of a lot of heavy lifting. lemmy, piefed are 100% when you start going pixelfed or loops, or mastodon the compatibility matrix stops looking like that nice spiderweb.

you're lucky if you can even finger a user between systems
