The entirety of social media is of course, under Order Socialis which has two branches: Family Personalis and Family Parasitus. You know Family Parasitus from the various species of Corpora or Corporate entities, and of course Genus Egomet which is the TechBros and Billionaires.
Those of you reading this on Mastodon are in Family Personalis, Genus Foedoratus, species Mammut
That's one of the microblogging species on the Fediverse.
There are also photobloggers (foedoratus tabula -- #Pixelfed), and the Threadiverse (#Kbin Kbinauts, foedoratus kbinu and #Lemmy Lemmings, foedoratus lemmius) which hosts an interconnected set of forums like Reddit.
The thing about the #Fediverse is that it's a Federation of sites, that's your instances. You can post on your instance and see connected instances. Mastodon is a federation of connected microblogging sites.
You can change instances if you find yours to be too slow or incompatible socially.
