[Reddit, Twitter, etc.] => [Fediverse]

Plain food => food but you get to choose (which) spice(s)

Plain dancing => dancing but you can choose which clothes to wear while dancing

Plain grammar => talking but you can choose a dialect and or accent

Plain cat => you can choose which cat you like from an animal shelter

Though they all fundamentally revolve around platforms that enable sharing content, the main difference usually is, at least to me personally, the interface through which you access the content.

Can't think of (good) analogies for lawsuits, sadly don't know enough about nail polish, and it's too late into the night for me to think about biology.

It's also too late for me to see if what I said made sense or is plain bullshit

It's kinda ridiculous that you describe the non-federated websites as plain even though it's the fediverse that has a problem with too little content. lol

I’m sorry, I don’t know if that necessarily helped, but I definitely know they’re customizable now! Thank you!
