@clacke @syntacticsugarglider from my experiance people know the word server and then think that means a big machine with blinky lights. But in the context of talking about the server being an instance of the fediverse then that doesnt make sense to people. I think all the media talk of "the cloud" really fucked with peoples heads. I find it really common to talk to people who think that the internet is actually in space. And that it is all one thing that gets beamed down to us.
