Mastodon Might Be The New Twitter. Here's How It Works.

Social Media

Step one: Choose a server.

What Is Mastodon?

Is Mastodon better than Twitter?

Each of Mastodons 4,000 and counting servers houses its own online community (similar to a subreddit).

These servers are themed around locations and interests, and there are tons to choose from.

Within your server, you might look up users by just their short username.

Joining a server may not be instantaneous because each one is operated independently and individual moderators approve new members.

Alternatively, users can submit problematic posts to the servers owner for them to address.

It all comes down to preference, but people who have tried Mastodon already have some thoughts.

Some have already decided it’s better than Twitter, calling it bolder and comparing it to a co-op.

Meanwhile, some are pro-Mastodon… yet still tweeting their opinions.

Ultimately, youll have to give Mastodon a fair shot before you make your call.

To each their own.
