Mastodon это микроблогинговая платформа в Fediverse, аналогичная Twitter.

Какой он, этот Мастодон?

Так же, как в Twitter, в Mastodon можно публиковать короткие сообщения, картинки, видео, аудио и описания к ним, а также устраивать опросы. Ваши сообщения могут видеть и комментировать других люди из всего Fediverse. Можно использовать в постах хештэги, а также делать по ним поиск.

А преимущества перед Twitter?

With Mastodon you can post longer posts - usually 500 characters, though some instances have even larger character limits.
There is no algorithm deciding what you get to see and what not, but the feed is chronological and based on who you follow and what the people you follow boost.
On Twitter & Co the algorithm doesn't necessarily show you what you want to see, but amplifies hate and controversy, to keep you watching ads as long as possible.
If you have a lot of followers on Twitter expect to have a narrower reach on Mastodon, but the people who follow you are usually more happy to interact with you in a meaningful way.

What are some limitations?

With all the advantages, like Twitter, Mastodon still has some limitations.

Some things that are fixed and the admins can't change for their instances:

  • character limit (500)
  • poll options (4)
  • profile fields (4)
  • max number of pinned posts (5)
  • users must provide an email address to register
