Of course. That’s why I said it was targeting the Twitter mob, for what reasons I cannot fathom except to use the “decentralization” to hide potential terror activities.
“for what reasons I cannot fathom except to use the “decentralization” to hide potential terror activities.”
Yeah, terror activities like being Christian, Conservative, or MAGA... There may come a time very soon where we are going to need this technology ourselves or be cancelled completely from the net by our government. The Communist data oversight and control is coming very soon. You shouldn’t fear or knock what you don’t understand.
Mastodon is not a platform as much as it is an alternate way of creating a separate internet uncontrolled internet. Zeronet is another one I have been playing with recently that is the same, you can even build your own websites in it. They are a p2p blockchain bittorrent protocol where there are no main central servers to go through like we do now. Thousands of personal computers are all tied together in a network eliminating the need for a formal internet infrastructure. And everything is encrypted.
It is actually pretty cool, there is another whole alternative internet on Zeronet. Same protocol but Zeronet is better than Mastodon with easier setup. And now is the time to become familiar with how it works, not after it is too late.
This mastodon software, which has been around about 7 years, is not so much ‘decentralization’ as ‘federalization.’ You can create your own site using this but allow access to other sites also using the same software in a confederation of nodes.
