Hi Went to what I think is the "main" website and it said:
Fediverse social network differs from mainstream platforms (Facebook,
Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest, etc). Mainstream platforms concentrate
millions of users on one website, where they control all the decision-making,
enforce censorship, and hoard users' data for commercial profit and spying.
Fediverse platforms, on the other hand, are developed by a community of
people from all over the world, independent from any company or official
institution. You are free to register on any Fediverse website you like. You
can choose the person who will be in charge of your data - the administrator
of your server. If you have technical knowledge, you can administrate your
own server for your friends and family, connecting with thousands of other
independent servers across the web. Fediverse is an autonomous universe where
power and data are decentralized and scattered across multiple lands.
So how is Fediverse used? I am not active on any Social Media.... how do I
leverage this service?
The same way you use/used mailing lists, IRC, and web forums. Create an
account and start participating :).
Honestly, maybe even the same way people use RSS or playlists or just
plain browsing.
For instance, if you allow some cookies and JavaScript you can follow my
account via a web browser.

moin moin,
I updated my Fediverse talk for LinuxFest Northwest, but we had some
technical difficulties and I didn't get through the whole thing, so I'm
reprising it for tomorrow's PLUG meeting.
