Mastodon: A Decentralized Microblogging Server

Mastodon is a self-hosted microblogging server that allows users to create their own decentralized social network. By federating with other Mastodon servers, users can connect with people across the globe and enjoy instant global communication. With Mastodon, you're not tied to one company or platform - your data and your time are yours alone.

Main Features of Mastodon

  • Decentralized: Each Mastodon server is a completely independent entity that can interoperate with others to form a global social network.
  • Open Source: Mastodon is free and open-source software, allowing you to use, copy, study, and change the code as you see fit.
  • Not for Sale: Your feed is curated and created by you, without ads or algorithm-driven profiles. Your data and time are yours alone.
  • Interoperable: Built on open web protocols, Mastodon can speak with any other platform that implements ActivityPub, giving you access to a whole universe of social apps - the fediverse.

With Mastodon, you're not just a user - you're part of a community that values your agency and respects your time. Whether you're publishing art, music, or podcasts, Mastodon is there for you.
