Trump's Truth Social Can Only Make Mastodon Stronger
The Trump-backed Twitter lookalike looks near to launch, and for better or worse, this will draw more attention than ever to my favorite social network.
The news of Elon Musk buying Twitter has put Mastodon into the public spotlight as an alternative social network, rapidly exploding our growth with over 30,000 new users in just a single day. This is because at Mastodon, we present a vision of social media that cannot be bought and owned by any billionaire, and strive to create a more resilient global platform without profit incentives. We believe that your ability to communicate online should not be at the whims of a single commercial company.
