Another large general server that I recently joined is mas.to. Two of the biggest Mastodon servers, aka instances, are mastodon.social - the official server of the Mastodon project - and mstdn.social, though both have temporarily paused registrations. For example, the folks at dolphin.town are only allowed to post the letter "E," while the literary buffs at oulipo.social are forbidden from ever using the letter "E" (in honor of OuLiPo writer Georges Perec's lipogram " La Disparition").

Servers can be based on a geographic location, subject interest, professional background or literally anything an administrator can think of. Since there's no one common Mastodon area for everyone - as with Twitter - you'll need to register on a specific Mastodon server. The hardest part of Mastodon is getting started. Mastodon servers aren't required to be connected to the Fediverse, In fact, the most famous Mastodon instance is Truth Social, the social network of former US President Donald Trump. The Fediverse also contains other social networks like PeerTube for videos, Funkwhale for music, PixelFed for photos and NextCloud for files. Instead of one town square for everyone, however, Mastodon is composed of thousands of social networks, all running on different servers, or "instances," that can communicate with each other through a system called the Fediverse.

In May, Rochko explained the service's oddly named substitute for "tweet." He says the original button was called "publish," but a committed supporter promised lifetime support of the Mastodon Patreon account if he would change it to "toot." (On the iOS and Android apps it says " publish.") Mastodon was created and originally released in October 2016 by Eugen Rochko, the CEO and lone employee of the nonprofit organization Mastodon gGmbH. You can post "toots" (instead of tweets), follow other people and organizations, and favorite (like) and boost (retweet) posts from other people. Mastodon is a free social media service that functions much like Twitter. What is Mastodon and how is it different from Twitter?

Twitter has also suspended the official account for Mastodon, prompting a joke from creator Eugen Rochko about never having to check Twitter notifications again.
The growing popularity of Mastodon might partly explain why Twitter is now blocking many links to Mastodon servers and suggesting the URLs are "harmful" or include malware.
