Mastodon is a free and open-source social networking platform featuring microblogging capabilities similar to X (formerly Twitter).

Launched on March 16, 2016, it operates as a decentralized, federated network of independently managed servers that communicate via the ActivityPub protocol.

Each server, or “instance” sets its own moderation rules, giving users more control and community-driven governance compared to centralized social media platforms.
