My Mastodon Account

For anyone not in-the-know, lots of tech folk have started using Mastodon, many even migrating from Twitter to Mastodon. The ability to run your own server and be able to interact with the fediverse makes it so much cooler to run your own server again - in the past, we only did it for saying, “Hey, I have a website/blog.” This could be the next big things since IRC, but not in quite the same way - we had a choice of IRC networks, but we couldn’t actually get someone on one network to talk to another network so Freenode was pretty much the only network you would use. With Mastodon, an organization can host its own Mastodon instance, an open source community can host it’s own Mastodon instance (hello, Ruby.Social), and they would be able to exchange content with each other. If you haven’t signed up already, what are you waiting for?
