Mastodon
Mastodon is a Twitter-like social network. It’s free software to download and run on your own server.
Each installation of Mastodon talk to one another so all the small social networks become one massive big one. That makes the whole network decentralised sand makes it near impossible to be completely taken offline.
Mastodon is one of many bits of software that do this. There are alternatives to sites like Instagram, YouTube, etc. Many of these bits of software can interact with one another in a massive network known as The Fediverse.
I run a few things Mastodon-related:
- oslo.town - a social network for the people of Oslo
- harrystyl.es - for fans of Harry Styles
- A long list of Mastodon instances
There was also an article on kode24.no that interviewed me about oslo.town
