Mastodon is a Windows online platform that allows users to post text messages, images, videos, audio tracks and web links. The social network is based on open web standards and protocols such as ActivityPub.

Blogging

Similar to Twitter, this web service is intended for creating text posts and sharing media files. The maximum message length is 500 characters. It is possible to add content warnings, custom emojis, accessibility descriptions and animated avatars.

You can follow and communicate with anyone across any Mastodon server instance as well as on other platforms that support ActivityPub, including PeerTube, PixelFed and Pleroma. This functionality is helpful for creating a diverse and interconnected social hub.

Moderation

Each server has its own rules and regulations that are enforced by local administrators. Users are able to block, mute or report other people they find problematic or abusive.

Privacy

There are instruments for making individual posts public, unlisted, direct or available only to followers. You can configure the visibility of the personal profile and prevent specific accounts from accessing the content.
