As many users seek alternatives to X, rival social network Mastodon says that its official app downloads are up 47% on iOS.
Mastodon founder Eugen Rochko says downloads on Android are also up 17%, while total monthly sign-ups rose approximately 27% to 90,000.
The open-source X rival functions much like its competitor, the site formerly known as Twitter, on the outside. However, unlike the centralized Twitter, Mastodon consists of thousands of different social networks, which are integrated into a web it calls the “fediverse.”

I mean, it’s just like e-mail addresses, I really don’t understand the difficulty. Yes technically if I want to e-mail joe smith, I need to know his address, including what mail provider he uses. Which is why when I ask for his e-mail address he tells me “[email protected]”. and not just joesmith.
of course you need. your friends need to tell you. only they can know. just like with email and IRL cities
you need to know what domain your friend uses for email if you email them
you need to know your friend’s area code if you call or text them
you need to know the password that goes with your username on your computer
not blaming you for your friends struggling with this, just, ugh, how does anyone struggle with this?
