A lot of artists, etc. are reluctant to leave corporate social media like Twitter, due to fears over the Fediverse (usually spread by other people, that think Fediverse = Gab + some cryprobros + maybe Pawoo), or not willing to understand it.

I think I'll try to explain the working of the Fediverse in simple drawings, add a few instances recommended for certain types of creators, and make a page long FAQ section with stuff like about GDPR requests, etc.

Maybe you could include some recommendations on carrying over content/followers. Especially if there're bots to do it.
