Mastodon is a federated Twitter-like social network. It's decentralized, so bascially there are different "servers" (instances), but they all talk to one another and you can follow users from different instances. Very unique concept and I'm enjoying it so far!
I'm here on this one https://hostux.social/@thomasboxley
There's more information on it here https://joinmastodon.org/

@SpookyZalost mentioned the federated network a little while back. Never had heard of it before then. It looks very interesting indeed.

That's very strange, I was literally looking into this earlier. I've not joined yet but I really like the idea. How did you find your server @Thomas ?

Edit: I followed you. I'm ryanstubbs@chinwag.org

I followed you back!
This server was at the top of joinmastodon.org. "Beer and free software lovers." Definitely my t hing.

Yay, thanks!

After half an hour of playing around with it and seeing how it all works, the idea of this is great and the execution is incredible. Definitely going to be using this more.
