Experienced Mastodon users, I'm begging you to stop telling confused curious people that Mastodon is in some way like email. Saying that only makes them more confused.

@JoeSondow The one and only way it's like email is that no matter what server you sign up with, you can "exchange messages" with anyone on any other server. If there's something else on the internet that people would be familiar with other than email, I'd love to use that analogy instead.
I've been telling people that mastodon is a mashup of Twitter, Discord, and email.
