report
Mastodon (mastodon) looks like Twitter, but in fact it is not a plug-in of Twitter, but a social networking server software in the free software industry. It was developed by Eugene Rochko, a 24-year-old German. This name comes from the heavy metal band of the same name that Rochko likes. Similar to Twitter, users can send "messages" (mastodon terms are called toots, meaning short, sharp beeps from speakers) and follow others.

Function introduction
Mastodon (mastodon) looks like Twitter, but in fact it is not a plug-in of Twitter, but a social networking server software in the free software industry. It was developed by Eugene Rochko, a 24-year-old German. This name comes from the heavy metal band of the same name that Rochko likes. Similar to Twitter, users can send "messages" (mastodon terms are called toots, meaning short, sharp beeps from speakers) and follow others. The differences from Twitter are:

In addition, there is a better operating interface than Twitter. Generally speaking, these features are very good. But it does not seem to be the reason for this trend, Perhaps the most attractive thing about Mastodon is the alliance operation rather than the oligopoly operation.


Features:

1. Decentralization
Mastodon has a microblogging function similar to Twitter or Weibo, but unlike them, it is not centrally hosted. Each user is a member of a specific independent operation instance. Users publish short messages called "toots" for others to view, and can adjust their privacy settings for each post. Specific privacy options may vary from site to site, but usually include private messages, only visible to followers, publicly visible but not listed in public sources, and publicly visible and published to public sources.
Visually, the entire mammoth network is composed of thousands of instances, which are connected to each other and eventually form a huge network, just like a huge universe. Each server is a galaxy in the universe, and the user is the planet in each galaxy.

2. Never disappear social network
Weibo Twitter, Instagram and other social soft sites founded by enterprises will disappear completely once they close down. In contrast, even if a server in the mammoth's huge network stops operating, the network still exists. It can be said that mammoths are social networks that will never disappear.
You can export your account and transfer it to other instances at any time without worrying about the data loss caused by the instance operator.
