With Elon Musk's purchase of Twitter still to come, a name has begun to emerge as an alternative to the social network. This article will explain what Mastodon social is and why everyone is talking about it on Twitter This open source social network was founded in 2016 and many are starting to see in it a quite interesting alternative with which to leave Twitter, whose image has only worsened due to the toxicity that is breathed in the main trending topics.
Mastodon is a decentralized social network on different servers, which implies that there may be different rules of behavior depending on whether we are on a server or another. This also allows interaction between the different servers, so we won't find too many differences in their use compared to Twitter.
The uncertainty generated by the possible purchase of Elon Musk from Twitter makes many users see the option of leaving with better and better eyes to other social networks. For this reason, many are landing on Mastodon, one of its most similar alternatives at the moment.
At Mastodon, we present a vision of social media that cannot be bought and owned by any billionaire. Your ability to communicate online should not be at the whims of a single commercial company!

Given the existence of several servers, the registration process is different from Twitter, so we are going to indicate how to register in Mastodon. When opening the application, we will have to click on the 'Start' button to start the registration, and we will begin to see the extensive list of servers that make up this social network.
The servers vary so that each user accesses the one that best suits their tastes, and you can choose geographic servers or by interests . Once the sector has been chosen, we activate the server we are interested in with a tick (we will see at the bottom both the number of users in it and the language in which the publications are made and click on 'Next'. Afterwards we will receive a notice for us to check the rules of the server on duty (click on 'Next' again) and from there we can carry out the rest of the registration as we are used to, entering our username and the data requested.
How Mastodon works
Once inside, it's time to find out how Mastodon works, but at first glance you can see that the interface is quite similar to that of Twitter, so we won't have too many difficulties learning how to use the application.
In the initial tab, which can be found with the icon of a house, we can see the publications of the users we follow (the equivalent of Twitter's TL or the Facebook wall). To explore and see what other profiles we can follow in Mastodon, we have the option of navigating through the second tab, the exploration tab, and if we click on the icon of the Right, where our user photo will be, we will have access to our Mastodon profile to edit what we consider or publish something.
Mastodon vs Twitter, advantages and disadvantages
Before carrying out our transfer to another social network, it is convenient to make the comparison Mastodon vs Twitter, advantages and disadvantages of one and the other. Among the advantages of Twitter is its seniority, since there is still a greater number of users on it than on Mastodon, especially among Spanish-speaking users. Those migrating to Mastodon will find that there is considerably less activity, although this may be an advantage for those looking for a quieter environment.
Among the points in Mastodon's favor is the fact that it is an open source social network, which allows you to better understand your inner workings. This prevents platform employees from exercising censorship on certain topics or using techniques such as shadowbanning, something that Twitter does not theoretically use, although many users do report it when they see its limited exposure.As always, it's a matter of spending a few hours exploring and getting used to the Mastodon app to see if it really suits us as a real alternative to Twitter or not.
