What is the Mastodon Social Network and How could it be better than Twitter
Mastodon is a free and open source federated social network that is an alternative to Twitter for many, but does quite a bit more and gives more control to end users. It has just shy of 4 million users but also connects to other social networks in the broader Fediverse. I explain this further in the video and also demo what the interface looks like and what you can do with it.
Deleting Twitter and Joining Mastodon
Deleting Twitter and Joining Mastodon
Facebook does not respect the privacy of its users. So I deleted my account last week (made a video about it). Moved from Facebook to Diaspora. This week I'm deleteing Twitter. I want it out of my life as well--for privacy reasons. Moving from Twitter over to Mastodon. If you guys want to join me...
What Is Mastodon and How Does It Work
Mastodon is a free, open-source microblogging software with a Twitter-like interface. Users post public or private 500-character messages often called “toots.” However, Mastodon has some key differences from Twitter.
Mastodon is a decentralized, federated network. This means that instead of operating as one website and storing its data in one place, it distributes data across thousands of websites and servers around the world. Mastodon subnetworks or servers, known as “instances,” each host distinct content types and communities. The Echosec Platform gathers and indexes data across Mastodon servers.
Some popular instances include Mastodon.social, a “general-purpose” server run by Mastodon’s founder, Eugen Rochko. Mastodon’s largest instance, Pawoo.net, has over 545,000 users and is used primarily for sharing art.
