What is Mastodon?

Mastodon is an open-source microblogging platform comparable to the social media network (and app) Discord. The Mastodon platform offers an ad-free decentralised environment for users to discuss their thoughts on dedicated community servers. Joining, setting up servers, posting "toots" (instead of tweets), following other individuals and groups, and favoriting (liking) and boosting (retweeting) other people's postings are all possibilities. It is considered safer and more accessible than other social media networks.
