If you've heard the word 'mastodon' a lot since Elon Musk took over Twitter in late October, here's why.
If you've heard the word"mastodon" a lot since Elon Musk took over Twitter in late October, here's why: The extinct mammal is also the name of a relatively small, formerly little-known social network that has skyrocketed in popularity, as many Twitter users try it out as an alternative for connecting with others online.
But while it can be exciting to seek out a new social network, it can be tricky, too. Mastodon and Twitter have some similarities, yet they're quite different — both in how they work and how they're operated. Whether you're interested in leaving Twitter or just want to check out something new, read on to find out how to sign up and thrive with Mastodon.
Go to this webpage, and, if you want to get started quickly, click the little drop-down menu that says"sign-up speed" and set it to"instant" to see servers you can sign up with right away. Similar to Twitter, you can use hashtags on Mastodon to seek out topics and people . There are also some tools you can use to find Twitter friends on Mastodon, such as Twitodon. I have mostly taken the more manual route by searching on Twitter for the word"Mastodon" to pull up people I follow who have added Mastodon usernames to their Twitter profile names.
These differences aren't bad, and some of them may actually be good; it can make posting on Mastodon feel a little less reactive than Twitter, which is great for anyone prone to getting fired up by other people's social media posts. And many of the people trying out Mastodon seem ready for a change.
