What is Mastodon?

Mastodon is a social network that respects your privacy and freedom. Unlike other platforms that are controlled by a single company, Mastodon is made up of many independent communities that can communicate with each other.

Mastodon is based on open source software that anyone can use to create their own community, called an instance. Each instance has its own rules, themes, and features. You can join any instance you like, or even start your own.

Mastodon uses a common protocol to exchange posts, videos, and other content between instances. This means you can follow and interact with people from different instances, as well as other services that use the same protocol. This network of interconnected instances is called the Fediverse.
