About Mastodon

Mastodon is a decentralized social network — like Twitter/X, but without the algorithms, ads, or corporate manipulation. You own your timeline, your followers, and your data.

Mastodon accounts are free. Like X, free accounts may have fair-use restrictions for posting, media, rate limits, and abuse prevention. Supporter subscriptions are optional and help cover VPS, moderation, bandwidth, and storage costs.
