You may not have heard of Mastodon, which has been around since 2016, but now it’s growing rapidly. Some are fleeing Twitter for it or at least seeking out a second place to post their thoughts online as the much more well-known social network faces layoffs, controversial product changes, an expected shift in its approach to content moderation and a jump in hateful rhetoric.
Feeling like a social-media newcomer I’ve been a Twitter user since 2007, but as a growing number of the people I follow on the social network began posting their Mastodon usernames in recent weeks, I got curious. This week, I decided to check out Mastodon for myself. There are some key differences, particularly in how the network is set up. Because Mastodon users’ accounts are hosted on a slew of different servers, the costs of hosting users is spread among many different people and groups.
🤣🤣
Isn't a mastodon just a larger version of the Republican elephant ?
No one is .
Is it like Truth Social?
Not even bothered about that now
Liberals flocking to Mastodon ,there is your headline
What is a mastodon? My guess is a dinosaur or power ranger
Mastodon blows
Twitter users are flocking to masterbatedone
Who determines that they are from twitter? Are those fired or banned users? According to which criteria you determine the origin of users? Twitter's daily user growth hit 'all-time highs' during the first full week of Elon Musk owning the platform
Whatever. Go echo chamber somewhere else. Disgusting advertisement.
No their not
Mastodon literally translates to breast-tooth (mastós 'breast' odoús 'tooth'). So that's what it is. It's the breast-tooth app. Shocking. Disgusting. No wonder decent citizens are staying with Twitter.
Nobody is doing that
Complicated site
How is Twitter in chaos except in the minds of the American taliban? That you endorse it makes mastodon the *LAST* place I’d want to go! Can you vouch that the woke censorship has moved to mastodon?
CNN is doing what trump did when trumps account was suspended from Twitter. 🤣 Pathetic CNN.
You said that with a straight face, impressive.
Stop trying to make Mastodon happen
It’s a garbage can in which leftist cucks can be disposed.
lmao the left are desperate for a new plaform to control information
That’s is hysterical! They are going to their own site, same thing they talked smack about re Truth Social etc
Everyone who said they were leaving are still on Twitter
you wouldn't post this on twitter than. you'd post this on mastidin or w/e its called
Mastodon sucks. Blue sky is coming
Who’s flocking to mastodon? The people who switched have no flux of influence .
canceljimmycliff cancelstellamclaughlin cancelthejamaicangovernment cancelrasayana abolishthecia thefbifailedus
That's the social media for masturbating!
I have seen this only from CNN. Why don't other news agencies 'advertise' Mastodon?
No, they're not. Twitter has more active users and more activity than it ever has since Elon took over.
So suddenly biased people cannot 'moderate' people they disagree with and in return even more immature democrats flee the platform.
The GOP are domestic terrorists and twitter will lose billions in advertisements because of it. There isn’t a company out there that wants their brand right after an angry right wing racist rant… I have my popcorn ready and watching the train wreck Elon is creating.
canceljimmycliff cancelstellamclaughlin cancelthejamaicangovernment cancelrasayana abolishthecia thefbifailedus
Only the parasitic Marxist left are fleeing Twitter. They can't stand defeat. Boo hoo.
Not they’re not. Everyone is moving to TribelSocial
Stop trying to make Mastodon a thing
Flocking? I think it's more like a seasonal migration. They'll all be back by the spring.
Stop trying to make 'fetch' a thing.
I'm not leaving and I'm not paying just because ElonMuskIsATroll
Leftwing media really shilling for Mastodon 😂 Everyone knows that all these losers that are leaving will be coming right back.
Can we Masturbate on Mastodon? If not Im not interested
Posted on Twitter.
The name Mastodon is not catchy.
Bye 👋
Decentralized is key to these public platforms. It a winner
Hahahahahahahahaha
A decentralized service with no safe space. 🤣
Absolutely hilarious 😂
No they aren’t.
Flocking? I’ve never even heard of it. You are flocking to my nuts
The refugee of losers
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
It's going to end on a few 100,000 active accounts, like all the other 'alternatives'. The vast majority of people will stay on Twitter, because the vast majority of people using Twitter aren't Yanks. You're not the center of the world. Get over it.
Crashes daily.
Im on Mastadon mbadeau
I hope the band mastodon sues for naming infringement rights
No it's not.
Lol, not taking it well CNN?
Twitter is fine. Meta platforms suck
Mastodon is a safe space for butthurt liberals, it's going to implode eventually.
almost identical article about Mastodon on a few major main stream outlets.
Ccn trying to sell me on some rando app cause Elon is cleaning house here.
Is it like Tribel? A tribalist Woke Left version of Parler?
Why the FCUK YOU HERE?
...yeah, sure... give your details to a random person or entity hosting a topic. keep looking, CNN!
Its just going to be another 'one off' platform that does not have enough following!
You misspelled “Leftist get scared of twitter and leave for Mastadon Safe Space” Are they getting a complimentary binky for switching over 😂😂
Mastodon is horrible
Ahhhhh... another lefty site that lies like CNN
No its not
Woke is drawn like (Mam)moths to a flame just to go extinct 🦣 .
'Rapidly'. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡
Not on fire - users growing
Anyone experiencing this chaos?
Remember when cnn did ads for GETTR or Parler? Me neither.
Nah thanks, Twitter is more fun
buh bye
Do we have a lawsuit on our hands?
Every time you see that elephant logo I hope you remember getting your asses kicked tomorrow.
I keep hearing about Twitter being in 'chaos' and I haven't noticed anything; it's working fine.
Here I thought it was about the band
CNN panicked because they can no longer control their echo chamber.
Parler and Truth Social grew rapidly too, and....
You know cnn reporters all signed up.
The Parler of the left. 🤣
Why did you not post this on Mastodon? Why is CNN still on Twitter?
'Since we write the headlines, LOOK AT THIS COOL NEW THING.'
Lmao
No one uses this. Not even you dweebs.
One would think CNN might stay away from apps for awhile.🤷♀️
Would you say it’s the CNN+ of Twitter?
*Posted on Twitter* Losers 🤣
Lol growing so fast we had to post to Twitter..
Nah
Lol. Lmao even.
LMAO
Nah, I'm good here thanks.
And they’re back here in 3….2….1…..
Lol. No.
jezzz, how many more times are you pushing this app? Just leave Twitter for good 👋
Just like CNN plus. Bust on the horizon
We didn't notice that Twitter was going bad but thank you for lying.
Hey CNN how about some news META (Fakebook) is also about to fire thousands of employees. I need to see the outrage
Don't worry. If vaccines prove to be bad for you, you'll never hear it on Mastodon. Your feelings are safe there.
I hear it’s heavily censored.
Masterdonating
Yes...it has 402 people now
No, fake news same as CNN
Musk's disastrous takeover of Twitter is a blessing in disguise. It's the last straw for those of us tired of this place, where algorithms dictate what you see. I'm liking Mastodon more and more.
Yeah, probably on the left coast. Only.
Just wait for bluesky
Elon Musk is not going to be happy with this
Lol!
Are you looking for a Social Media Manager? - Manage your Social Media Channels📅 - Create compelling Social Content & Copy - Devise and assist in crafting Social Strategy 📈 👉I'm here to help you:
I wonder if the tech bros at google and apple will shut down them like they did Parler.
It's not and it's shite!
Where is the chaos?
They really need to take care of its slow speed. I joined last night and ever since, haven’t been able to navigate properly. It either freezes, throws me out and doesn’t let me sign back in, or times out! Will try again in a couple of weeks to see if any improvements.
Lmaoooo, what a terrible name 😂
It’s terrible
are we now endorsing Gab?!?
Just like CNN+ was? Lol 😂 😆 losers
Than drop out here and go there
Its the new safe space for democrats to spew their hate
Why would I voluntarily be subject to propaganda and censorship by cultural Marxists?
Give me a break.
Full of far left extremists
No it is not
Never heard of it, but it must be good if CNN is promoting.
Mastodon is confusing so far
More garbage social media
Never going to take off. Sorry cry babies.
If we can't even share the same platform, how can anyone expect us to share the same country?
The cry babies have to have somewhere to go. Don't they? As long as they're not throwing their tantrum here? I don't care where they go.
I can’t wait untill posts like this het labeled as propaganda
Yall freaks want to control every single thing
The shows over guys just admit... your terrible journalist and lied alot.... own that and we can continue on and conduct business without corruption. 👌
Heard a lot about Mastodon, most of it negative.
Remember when they were saying they’d move to Canada if Trump becomes POTUS? Or that they’d delete their accounts if elonmusk takes over Twitter? Now they come up with that Mastodon crap. If all the virtue-signalers just for once would keep their promises and eff off!
Terrible
Loo, nice try
I bet this will be just as popular as CNN+. I’m sure elonmusk is super concerned!
Bs FUD
To new social network...wish you the same fate as the real Mastodon had!
Liberals head to CNN's safe space if Twitter makes you cry now. 😭😭😭
Mastodon is trash. Tried it tonight. No go for me.
$8
Twitter in chaos? Really?
It’s for kids
Sounds like a cesspool, enjoy the poo
It is very pleasant on mastadon
It’s weak!
Good try!
Have you heard of Koo? It's a Twitter alternative from India.
That's the social media for masturbating!!
Yeah that's what they said about Buzzfeed, Vox, and VICE News and look where they are at now.
What chaos
CNN employees are as corrupt as the ex Twitter employees were.
Let it all burn, Capitalism that is.
LOL, More fake news from the Network with lowest RATINGS...
Twitter in chaos but you are tweeting
Oh look an extream Left version of Parler.
If that was true, you would have posted this on Mastondon not Twitter 😉
Meh. Will probably go extinct like the original.
I think.your pants are on fire 🔥
Look at CNN try to push a Twitter competitor on Twitter.
The CNN+ of social networks if you will
Lol this is even worse than the MAGA Parler 'exodus'.
Lol
😂😂😂 Right....mastadon is a jumble of individually owned niche sites.
If it’s advertised here, no thank you.
sure is i hae been on there for a while now since 2018
It's just a sad app for leftist people with frail ego's. That's it.
How is twitter in chaos? You people have started with your useless agenda. Twitter is in chaos but you're posting on it, why didn't you post on Mastodon which you claim is on fire?
🤨
Great metal band
Probably on fire like CNN, right? CNN is dwindling fast.
Twitter is juuuuust fine . 🤭🖕🤣
Is CNN leaving Twitter ?
I’m primarily on Twitter to rage at CancunCruz and his ChristoFascist friends.
Communist News Network
Musk is the owner 😂
The adults own Twitter now. Get off our platform.
YES YES! Youre echoroom is gone! You must create another! Lemmings...
Lol
Leftist and Democratic savior app?
So desperate...
Please, migrate to Mastodon and delete your Twitter accounts. Only then will Twitter be freed from all your dis- and misinformation 👋
If Twitter is in chaos, how have you been able to post on it? Why are you still putting your efforts to choose Twitter as a go-to platform? Left-wing manipulative media is having a bad day I reckon.
🤣🤣🤣 you wish
Ill stick with Twitter , it gives me a more accurate view into someone's thoughts
This is what's so wonderful about a Democracy. Who wants authoritarianism?
and all other fake news broadcastrs you will all cry hard when you becomes useless in the faces of masses, revolution has just began.
How is Twitter in chaos? This media are liars and just a way to tarnish musk elonmusk
Not another social media that does the same thing…
elonmusk come read this.
2 weeks to flatten the curve
TruthSocial is on fire you mean 🤷🏾♂️
Liberal wasteland basically another Facebook
nice try cnn
I'm sure it'll do just as well as parlor and truth social
Mastodon = New Left Wing Propaganda Site
The Power Ranger?
So, Parler, Gab or Truth Social for Lefties? Sure, if you want censorship and being in a bubble, I'm sure it's great. But don't delete your Twitter account just yet... You will be back.
Funny. I didn't see the Promoted tag in the bottom corner.
I think Mastosaurus also has advantages and disadvantages. I should rather call it danger. Thank you very much. Amen
🤣Liberals trying hard
Anyone remembers Ello?
And so is my recap channel!
Twitter isn't in chaos...the liberal media is. And why is CNN talking about anyone being in chaos? 🤣
So, CNN, why are you promoting that alternative as opposed to Truth Social? 🤣
Growing so fat like cnn+
