If you want to know whether someone is on Mastodon, how would you be most likely to ask?

This is so interesting!

I remember when Facebook first got big and the main usage was “do you have a facebook?”

Clearly things are different around here

    @shekinahcancook @grammargirl @GrahamDowns I don't think most people automatically get that Mastodon is significantsly different from Facebook, in that there is one one Facebook run by Zuckerbot and it doesn't talk to Instagram or Whatsapp, while there are bazillions of Mastodons tooting all over the place (including places that are clearly not a Mastodon)

    @grammargirl @GrahamDowns “Does the word Fediverse mean any thing to you?”

    @projektionsyta @grammargirl @GrahamDowns Okay, I'll bite: How would you phrase it på svenska? 😊

    @grammargirl @GrahamDowns I can't help but wonder if the results are being affected by the way you asked the question. OTOH, I can't think of any way you could have phrased it that would have avoided that problem. 😖

    @kagan @GrahamDowns I couldn't think of a way of phrasing it that was leading in some way.

    @grammargirl @GrahamDowns go with Mastodon sounds with the arm-trunk gesture, as demonstrated by @brittlestar
