We get it, Twitter Left You

On October 28, a certain billionaire decided to buy Twitter and run it into the ground in record time.

What is Mastodon?

Mastodon is an open source social network platform that works like Twitter. However, it’s decentralized, meaning you can join any server and follow anyone from other servers, as long the instance doesn’t block access to that instance.

Mastodon instances are usually independently owned, not by any corporation or some egotistical millionaire. You are in full control of your data.

Our Features

Sakurajima has a bunch of features that makes it a better alternative to Twitter

  • Social Network that Can’t be Bought

    Sorry Space Karen, you can’t buy Mastodon, the individual users to set up a Mastodon server like the good old days with websites, blogs, and internet forums.

  • Hate Free Zone

    All instances that are not moderated, have hate, extremist groups, and misinformation are banned from federating with Sakurajima. This includes problematic instances that are known for harassment and ”free speech” instances with no moderation. From this, you should be confident that you will have a safe experience here.

  • One Account, Follow Anyone

    Sakurajima is powered by Mastodon, which is part of the Fediverse, allowing users to follow anyone, favorite, boost, or reply to any toot without being on that server.
