Title kinda says all, but Mastodon looks interesting to me… except I don’t know whether I should get one. I keep hearing that it’s “Twitter for saner people.” I guess? I’m fine with Twitter, even if it’s a bit hectic at times. But all the same: I’m just curious about the hype surrounding Mastodon.

    Oof!

    Just as I thought… perhaps I could make one?

      Please announce it on Lemmygrad if you do, I’d love to sign up on a communist Mastodon instance (I’m not familiar with Pleroma, but if you make one, I’ll look into it).

        Thanks! Honestly, I’m just sort of getting my feet wet in Mastodon and seeing what to do with it.

      You can, its kind of a resource hog, pleroma is better one to host (it can talk to mastodon too). I’m not a big fan of the twitter style of social media tho personally.

        I hate Twitter, and yet, it keeps me appraised of certain developments, especially in terms of leftism in general.

        Aside from that, there’s also a lot of Chinese pen pals on there.
