 Mastodon is a federated alternative to Twitter. It's not controlled by any corporate entity, you aren't the product when using the service, and anyone can start their own instance and federate with the rest of the network.

I'm over at the Fosstodon instance, @ROllerozxa@fosstodon.org. I've had it for a while but I really should be more active on it.

 Why should you be active on it? I don't like the "short message" format at all.

 For once I agree with luatic - Mastodon is a horrendous piece of software, Pleroma is actually a better alternative and integrates with the same network of instances (colloquatively referred to as GNU Social, after the original successor to StatusNet).

Well I see it as being a more public and permanent platform for things I would normally send in Discord channels that gets forgotten quickly.

I guess Pleroma as a software seems to be lighter than the Mastodon software but... I don't run my own instance, so that's kinda moot. ¯\_(._.)_/¯
