Especially when trying to explain that Mastodon and Lemmy can't talk together but you can still follow / subscribe to people

"Imagine you could see someone's twitter page from your Facebook account. It's like that."

And anyone can set up their own facebook/twitter site and you can choose which one to sign up with. Then you can interact with other people on other facebook/twitter sites.
