The news of Elon Musk buying Twitter has put Mastodon into the public spotlight as an alternative social network, rapidly exploding our growth with over 30,000 new users in just a single day. This is because at Mastodon, we present a vision of social media that cannot be bought and owned by any billionaire, and strive to create a more resilient global platform without profit incentives. We believe that your ability to communicate online should not be at the whims of a single commercial company.

    I’ve always equated mastodon with say twitter or Facebook but maybe it would be better to equate it with Netflix a private network shared by a household hosted by masto.host. Except you can then connect with your mates - and to other services growing outwards.
