Audience is college students + 1 professor

2-3 minutes max (it is an elevator pitch) so can’t go into technicalities, nor do I wish to. Will focus on the main problem it solves.

Edit: I successfully presented, thanks everyone

    The feature you are pitching is the distributed nature of the fediverse. It soöves the lock-in problem and the resulting absolute power the big social media companies have over your content and qhat you see.

    Content manipulation is still a problem and there are several services that work dosrributed these days so its not the perfect pitch.

    Still a worthwhile pick in my book.

      Federation is a fairly tricky concept to explain in one minute, I know I didn’t get it when I first heard about it.

      I was thinking to lean more on the open standards point (which naturally leads to the concept of federation)

        It’s like email, you have a bunch of different providers who all talk to each other but are run by different people Or phone/text, everyone’s got a different provider but everyone can message everyone
