I’ve been on Mastodon for years, and it’s a great platform.
Who knows what Twitter will look like in a few months, especially withroughly half its employees now gone.

So, what exactly is Mastodon?
People can also follow people from other servers, without creating another account there.
Some servers are general-purpose, likemastodon.socialandmastodon.online, but others are centered around a specific topic or community.
One example of Twitter’s search abilities being used for spam: if you ask for help with homework, bot accounts will almost immediately find you.
Each server also has its own moderation team and rules.
For one, there’s no full text search on Mastodon.
I use the search function on Twitter and other social networks constantly, especially for work.
Mastodon also doesn’t have the ability to share a post while adding an inline comment.
However, all that practice accomplishes is amplifying the awful content and the content’s creator.
A single tap takes you to their original message and profile.
Mastodon’s content warning/spoiler feature also creates a better experience.
Also, be sure to browse the #introductions hashtag on your server to find some cool people!
