Mastodon is yet another response to the irresponsible actions that have been committed by centralized services, in this instance, it is a response to Twitter.

Mastodon is unique; open source software allows anyone to host a Mastodon "instance". These instances can connect to other instances, and they pool together to create the Fediverse.

Don't like your current instance? Switch to a one with different rules. Can't find any instances that satisfy your needs? You could even start your own.

You can browse the instances here: https://instances.social/
