I’ve now been using it for about two months and I am here to tell you that it is, in principle, what we should want the internet to be. If you have been remotely interested in Mastodon but had reservations about joining because you thought it would be difficult, confusing, or otherwise annoying, it is not.

Here is how you make a account: You go to this website. You agree to not share or be an asshole. You select a username and password. Then, you have a Mastodon account.

MastodonJason Koebler (@jasonkoebler@mastodon.social)I wrote about my first two months on Mastodon. I was a Mastodon hater because I thought it would be weird, complicated, or dead. It's been none of those things. I'm ashamed I didn't join earlier and I'm ashamed I haven't been telling people to join it, because it's a version of the internet and social media I've long advocated for with my reporting: decentralized, portable, user controlled, not corporate: https://www.404media.co/mastodon-is-the-good-one/

So, Mastodon:

1. Not difficult to sign up for
2. Not difficult to use
3. Has an app like every other social media network
4. Not owned by world’s richest man
5. Not owned by a company whose main platform has been credibly accused of facilitating genocide by the United Nations
6. Not funded by the guy who made the last place, which sold itself to the world’s richest man
7. Doesn’t have a crypto thing going on
8. Free and open source
9. Administered by a crowdfunded nonprofit
10. Decentralized, portable, and interoperable

I’m writing this because it has been weird to watch some journalists and people who are fully aware of Facebook’s catastrophic history with things like disinformation,

404 Media · Mastodon Is the Good OneMastodon is interoperable, decentralized, operated by a nonprofit, lively, and, ACTUALLY, isn't hard to use. So why is everyone championing Threads as the main Twitter alternative?

@nikol The weird thing is that we’ll need to share this article on FB etc. to convince people (and also, I’d need it in French for most of my contacts).
