    Yeah, I’m not a fan of the microblog format, but I’m pretty sure everyone here is going to agree that Mastodon is the superior Twitter replacement.

          I don’t think I get what you mean when you say “Walled Garden” in this context. Can you elaborate?

            walled garden

            (Edit, For example…) Facebook control all aspects: you can only do what they want. Mastodon can be hosted and modified by anyone, it’s freedom.

            A closed platform, walled garden, (…) is a software system wherein the carrier or service provider has control over applications, content, and/or media, and restricts convenient access to non-approved applicants or content. This is in contrast to an open platform, wherein consumers generally have unrestricted access to applications and content. - wikipedia

        Interesting. Ugh, I feel the need to go peek at it now, but I also expect to really not like it. Oh well, here goes.
