It’s been difficult to broach the subject and explain the technical concepts to the average person. I did have some success in first sharing the email comparison, which lead into interoperability.

I’m just curious to hear people’s success stories, if you have any.

    I like using a mall as a really basic analogy for the shared social space:

    There are multiple entrances to the mall through various shops, but once you’re inside, you can go visit wherever you want.

      I likened it to a room with bidirectional portals yesterday - your analogy is much better, and has been stolen for future use.
