Today, the 14th of January 2023, I joined the open-source website Mastodon. I read about Mastodon some time ago but decided to join it today, after reading about the site online.
It is a website that is free to join, that is an advertisement free and it does not have a central management company. Mastodon is a decentralized social media network made up of independent servers organized around specific themes, topics, and interests.
I searched for the Mastodon platform on the web. Next, I joined the server that was available in my region, by creating an account, with my email and a password. I needed to verify my email account, by confirming the email address registered with the Mastodon account.
I next added a short bio, with links, an image for my profile, and a masthead image. I explored Mastodon and looked at the other servers online, that are active and accepting members. This site seems simple and it has the potential to become much bigger in scale and outreach later. You are welcome to visit and follow me on Mastodon. Only time will tell if Mastodon is going to reach stratospheric heights in the future.
