Mastodon Review

Mastodon emphasizes privacy, user control, and an ad-free experience, making it a popular alternative to traditional social media platforms like Twitter. It is a decentralized social network run on independent servers. Users join specific servers based on their interests or values, and their profiles are hosted on those servers.
Each server operates independently and manages its own data. Every server has its own rules, moderation policies, and community focus, allowing users to enjoy a variety of personalized experiences. Despite their independence, servers are interconnected through a process called federation. This enables users from one server to interact with users from other servers. These interactions create a dynamic ecosystem—the Fediverse—where communities can thrive independently while remaining part of a larger network. Smooth communication between servers is possible through standardized protocols such as ActivityPub.

Furthermore, each Mastodon instance or server defines its own privacy policies, ensuring users greater transparency and control over their data.
