230 000: this is the number of people who would have registered on Mastodon in one week. By adding those who reactivated their account after a long period of inactivity, this figure climbs to 655,000! A record for the decentralized social network, shared with fervor on its official Twitter account. A certain pride, when we know that many of these new arrivals probably come from former tweeters who have just leftthe app bought by Elon Musk recently.
This is undoubtedly a real success for the platform which aims to bemore respectful of privacythan its competitor with the blue bird. Users can in fact choose to only show their publications to the people mentioned there, which can be very practical like on Facebook. It is also possible to easily block an account in a few clicks, in the event of a problem.
Dozens of third-party clients to choose from
Mastodon does not work like traditional social networks, but offersconnect to third-party servers like Discord also does. To do this, Internet users can use the official Android or iOS app or one of the multiple alternative clients available on most mobile operating systems. On Android, Tusky leads the way, with Subway Tooter or Fedilab also being very good choices. On the iPhone side, we prefer Amaroq, iMast, Mercury or even Metatext.
Of course, you can chat on Mastodon from a computer with this. Here they areMastonautand Mast which are among the savviest options. The second is paid, which is not the case for the first, which does not even contain any in-app purchases. Ideal, when we know thatmany developers are now switching to the subscription model to finance their costs.
