"It's like other social media, but it was made by communist nerds to be free, no ads, no spying, no government ID, no psychological manipulation. And it's all open and connected, so you can see posts from other websites and upvote and comment on them."
Don't mention that.
When I learnt about the Fediverse, I was intrigued by that functionality, wow, one account for everything, that sounds cool. In reality this is very underdeveloped and in practice you still need separate accounts for every platform and any attempt to interact from one to another is a pain. Almost turned me away from the whole thing when I thought I couldn't figure it out.
I would rather take the "communist nerds" part off. But your explanation is good!
