Mastodon: Twitter Alternative Awaits Breakthrough After Musk Acquisition

Now that Elon Musk has finally taken over Twitter, users are looking for an alternative. The most obvious is Mastodon, but what is that anyway, what’s different from Twitter and why would you post on it?

It is a writing on the wall when people who have little interest in tech start talking about a certain service or development. In this case it was Tim op het Broek of radio station Kink who started the topic about Mastodon in an interview with Twitter. Mastodon has been considered the alternative to Twitter since the beginning in 2016, but with a decentralized structure. If you look at when Mastodon is popular, it is precisely when people feel uncomfortable with Twitter.
