The email analogy is bad and needs to end. People hear email and think it's like email. They don't hear the technical how-it-works.

People don't need to know the inner workings to use it. Just tell them it's social media. If you need more, say it's lots of different servers that talk to each other.

What you say in the Fediverse echoes everywhere else that is federated. Pick an instance you like and have fun.
