    Mastodon is like email for instant messages with permanent conversation threads. That’s about as relatable as it can get. The user addresses are highly similar. It communicates interoperably just like emailed does. Making a single uniform system out of hundreds of different servers. You can be on hotmail.com or gmail.com or any other email provider and mail anyone on any other mail provider. That’s basically Mastodon as well.
