This infographic is still incomplete; I’m posting it here in the hope that I can get some feedback about it. It has three goals:

  1. To explain what federation is. No technobabble, just a simple analogy with houses and a neighbourhood.
  2. To explain why federation is good for users.
  3. [TODO] Specific info about the Fediverse, plus some really simple FAQ.

Criticism is welcome as long as constructive.

EDIT: OK, too much text. I’m clipping as much as I can.

    I’m not sure I like it. The content is fine, but it’s still pretty dense for a graphic. It all runs together and there is no place for the eye to “rest.”

    Maybe some more space between each “frame.” If it’s still too dense, you might want to try to separate each “frame” with a subtle background color. Maybe using two different shades of light gray.

    An additional thing you can do is add a flag or chimney to the houses. The flag might have a pig, X, or fediverse symbol. This will make it more clear what is going on between the houses.

      Nice, I’m doing it. I was worried about colour-blind users, this helps with them.
