there is so much cope on twitter about how verification will now be accessible for a very low price and how this completely devalues it and it's worthless and meaningless. really makes u think .jpg

@natalie @Mastodon @bruhprivacy@mastodon.social

Well, according to androidpolice.com/what-is-mast

"Mastodon is an open-source microblogging alternative to Twitter. Rather than a centralized platform, Mastodon consists of independent, user-managed servers. Users are based on one server but can interact freely with others.

Mastodon shares quite a lot of similarities with Twitter. You can tag users, share media, and follow other accounts. The two main differences between both platforms are the independent servers and the chronological feed of Mastodon."

In short, just like any other fediverse. Mastodon is a decentralized twitter alternative. Like pixelfed, a decentralized instagram alternative.

@natalie

nya.social/ ? I think its also a Mastodon but with different instance.

Just like me, I have mastodon accounts on 2 different instances.
On mastodon.social
And qoto.org

And what is android's police?

@bruhprivacy@qoto.org somehow my mastodon has cat ears and the other mastodons dont. i guess that's because my mastodon is on a different fediverse
android police is where i learned what a mstodon is

@natalie That's the advantage of the fediverse, even though you're still on the same platform which is right now Mastodon, but you sign up at different instance, you can get features that other instances don't have, and vice versa

For example this account on qoto.org, has advantage to share toot with more than 65k characters meanwhile on default instance like mastodon.social you can only share your toot with 500 limit characters.

But, either mastodon.social and qoto.org are still Mastodon.

@bruhprivacy@qoto.org but if i use a different mastodon can i talk to a different fediverse? my mastodon really looks a lot different

@natalie yes, as long your admin or owner of the instance don't get blocked by other instances or they block other instances. You still can talk like usual, like we're doing now.

You can also talk with users on another federated social platform like @pixelfed @peertube and so on.
