With all the talk of crypto and decentralization it only became obvious to me that I’d like to build my own decentralized social media platform. You can find a link to my Mastodon instance in the menu above.
Simply out, Mastodon is like a Twitter-like clone.
The whole point of running my own Mastodon instance is to have control over who joins and provide users control over which instance they’d like to join and interact with. Too many times we find ourselves posting something that may be insulting to someone in your “friends” social network. Whether it be your long lasting friends, family or co-workers.
You can create your own instance and it can be about food, live action entertainment, cinema , general or whatever niche you can think of! If building your own is more effort than you’d like to put in then in you’re in luck! You can do a google search for mastodon instances and you can come up with sites that list them for you but if you’re new you may like to try instances.social
These networks are called instances within Mastodon. Each instance has their own set of rules, terms and conditions for participating in their instance (social network) just like I do with mine. The one I created is meant for my friends and people I’ve actually met in real life and would like to continue to interact with.
Facebook and Twitter are things of the past maan! 🙂
Join if you dare.
