What is Mastodon?
Mastodon is a social media network created in the style of Twitter, but without ads or toxicity-inducing algorithms. The network is community owned and operated.

Create an account (just like Twitter or any other social media)
Follow people, and get posting.

Just subscribed to premium. And I will download Mastodon. Thanks
