Mastodon, the new alternative to Twitter

This free software is accessible via any browser or dedicated mobile app (Android or iOS).

The free microblogging software Mastodon has given rise to a new entirely decentralised social network which looks very similar to Twitter. Created in the fall of 2016, it still only has a small number of users, but interest is growing fast because of its innovative features 

This free software is accessible via any browser or dedicated mobile app (Android or iOS). Mastodon can therefore be downloaded then installed on a server in order to set up a first channel of communication (also called an instance), which is a point of entry to a more global network called the Fediverse. Anyone can therefore create their own themed instance, bearing in mind that it is possible to communicate with any other Internet user using Mastodon as long as they are also connected to the Fediverse.
