At Least It's Better than the BirdSite

We get it, Twitter Left You

Twitter was a great place to connect with fans of Japanese media and content creators, although with it’s drawbacks. Life was great.

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

We have an alternative.

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.
