Re: [libreplanet-discuss] For folks new to technology unfamiliar with computing what is the a) applicable definition for "instance"... and b) applicable definition for "social instances"...

[mray]

a)

It is like email – not twitter – in a sense:

There is no "email" company where all people have their mail.
There are different servers (or "instances") that talk to each other.

b)

the text refers to "GNU social instances", not "social instances".
As "GNU social" is the name of the software running on said servers.
