Next to Facebook, TikTok, Twitter, instagram and other Snapchatnow Mastodon is making a name for itself on the Play store from Android.
An alternative social network, created a little over five years ago now.
Mastodon finally on the Play Store!
Launched at the end of 2016 and developed by a young German developer of only 20 years old, Mastodon is a microblogging type social network, generally compared to Twitter. Unlike the blue bird network, Mastodon is an open-source program, both decentralized and free, allowing the creation of instances to which the user will subscribe.
Mastodon allows you to publish messages, but also images, GIFs, and various content, with not a limit of 280 characters here, but 500 (or even more depending on the instance). The network is often presented as a “free Twitter” and devoid of all censorship and advertising.
Although available for more than five years already, Mastodon arrives at the beginning of 2022 on the Android Play Store, in the form of an official application. “ Instead of a single website, it’s a network of millions of users in independent communities who can all interact with each other seamlessly “, explain the developers.
