I’ve mentioned Mastodon on a number of occasions on this blog. It is the only social media platform that I use, but for a new user it can be fairly confusing, as it doesn’t work like other social media…

The social media network known as Mastodon is sort of an anti-Twitter: quiet, calm, and pretty much free of Nazis. People have been flocking to it lately, only to get confused by the way it’s set up—which is a shame, because it’s not that hard to get started. Here’s how.

This weekend saw an exodus of Twitter users to the fledgling platform. Blame Alex Jones—and Jack Dorsey.

It's like Twitter, but without all the bad people.

Mastodon is an open source decentralized social network - by the people for the people. Join the federation and take back control of your social media!

So you want to join Mastodon and get tooting. Great! Here's how to dive straight in.

Extract the websites and feeds of your Twitter followings.

Now you know why I’m moving away from Twitter, you probably have a vague idea of what I’m looking for in a social network. Mastodon is unique for a few reasons: it is federated, ethical, and inclusive.

Mastodon is a healthy and diverse community that’s built by and for people, not investors. Apps are welcome and your feed is chronological.

The Tool for Tabulating Thirty Top Tooters (t5) searches all of your posts to Mastodon and finds the 30 users whose posts you've favorated most often.
