Has anyone tried the technology instance in Mastodon?

A quick skim suggests that they are a bunch of all-ages geeks similar to Forumite.

I really should have added a link to a Wired article that features the German founder of Mastodon:

What is interesting is that this is a distributed Open Source system in which anyone can set up a server!

Wired Extract:

“…the Mastodon protocol allows anyone to use open-source software to boot up a server that hosts a Twitter-style community with its own rules. Together those servers form a collective of interlinked communities dubbed the “Fediverse.” People can join a server that matches their interests and community standards, but also connect with users on other servers, or block all content from a particular server completely.”

That’s really interesting and could really take off soon.

So many people are hacked of with Musk era Twitter already.

Be careful if you’ve registered on Mastodon or signed up as Malwarebytes show it’s vulnerable.

Article HERE . Any passwords used should be changed and if used before on other sites, then change those too.
