Mastodon App Latest Update: Tweets and toots are currently coexisting in the social media sphere. While Elon Musk is celebrating an all-time high number of active users on Twitter, many users who are overwhelmed by the current chaos on Twitter are looking for an alternative to the ‘Larry’ bird app. Among all other options, Mastodon is one that has gained widespread attention.
Mastodon is an open-source microblogging site that is similar to the discord app, a social media platform. In dedicated community servers, the Mastodon platform provides an ad-free decentralised space for people to share their ideas. It is possible to join, create servers, post “toots” (instead of tweets), follow other people and organisations, and favourite (like) and boost (retweet) other people’s posts. It is said to be simpler and safer than other social media platforms.
But what exactly are servers, and how do you set up your new Mastodon account? Let’s go over the process of creating a Mastodon profile step by step.
