Social media network Mastodon has skyrocketed in popularity amid an exodus from Twitter.
Tesla CEO Elon Musk's $44 billion takeover of Twitter has caused uproar in some circles, primarily those on the Left who fear the billionaire's new model will result in an unsafe environment for minorities. In their migration from Twitter, some have gone to newer sites like Bluesky or the left-wing Tribel, while others have gone to older sites such as Tumblr or Reddit.
The layout and model of the site are also much different than Twitter's. New users have noted that it takes hours to master the network's vocabulary alone. Posts are called"toots," and any of its thousands of connected websites are called"instances," which are"federated" within the greater"fediverse." The network is also decentralized in nature; Mastodon itself is a network of thousands of interconnected websites, each with its own moderators.
