- Mastodon :Social network having the particularity of being decentralized and self-hosted. You can reach instances made for free to access it. Mastodon is funded by user donations and does not display any advertising
Do not hesitate to test threads and tell us what you think in any case. The app already displays a nice note on the App Store (4.8 out of 5 stars). It's pretty good.
