Three things occur when a Mastodon fanboy, who believes Mastodon is the Fediverse, encounters my Akkoma account:
Sometimes people see my use of Markdown and long posts and discover why ActivityPub is a big deal, and become more curious about the wider Fediverse.
But there’s the occasional person who gets incredibly pissed off that not everything on the Fediverse is done in the same uniform Mastodon way because their entire paradigm of how the Internet works is apps! apps! apps! – not protocols.
And thus, everyone who uses the Fediverse needs to understand what a protocol is, and why what often looks like Mastodon isn’t Mastodon.
