Mastodon is the world’s largest decentralised social media network, putting people back in control of their data and their reach. We are focused on creating a user-friendly, open-source, privacy-conscious alternative to traditional social platforms because we believe that the digital public square must not be controlled by a wealthy few.

This approach brings exciting challenges, as Mastodon runs on thousands of independent, interconnected servers, as well as interoperating with the broader “fediverse” of services running on the same shared protocol ActivityPub.
