Question for my fellow #Fediverse #Tech enthusiasts:
Imagine your friend is on the fence about joining #Mastodon, and they ask:
"What is an instance, anyways?"
What is your go-to answer?
The email provider comparison is common, but maybe over-used, or too technical?
What other metaphors/explanations do you have up your sleeves?
