Social networking that's not for sale.
Your home feed should be filled with what matters to you most, not what a corporation thinks you should see. Radically different social media, back in the hands of the people.
Stay in control of your own timeline
Decentralized social media is created and maintained by its users, making you the owner of your feed. You can be as public or as private as you like and curate your own experience.

Moderating the way it should be
Mastodon puts decision making back in the hands of the people. Each server creates their own rules and regulations, which are enforced locally and not top-down like corporate social media. Self-hosting grants even more control by letting you decide the rules.

I'm personally addicted to Mastodon, for me it's like if Facebook or Twitter had a friendly version— where I can discuss things with people around the world about every single thing they love. If there's a subreddit for everything, of course there's also a Mastodon community for everything: I've got one profile for sharing art, another one for casual conversation and another one for politics.

Mastodon has changed my opinion of social media, it's a refreshing take on microblogging with a focus on privacy and safety.

I've been on federated platforms since 2008. Mastodon is the best iteration of federated platforms with a user interface that is pleasant to use and a community of folks that I consider friends.
