What is Mastodon?
I recommend all new users give this 2 minute video a watch!
Saying it again for new users: The official Mastodon apps kinda suck. They don't have the local/federated timelines that you'll see on Mastodon.lol itself so it might be harder to discover users and posts at first.
There's a bunch of third party apps which I recommend you try and see what feels best for you!
A few benefits of Mastodon (and this instance in particular):
- No ads
- No selling your data
- Nazi instances, etc. are cut off entirely. You won't see them and they won't see you.
- 500 character limit
- Profile metadata (for pronouns, etc)
- Per post privacy settings
- Content warnings
- Instant and true account deletion
- LGBTQ+ friendly
- No Nazis/racists/transphobes/etc.
- Fucking cool admin (maybe)
- Emojis
