general, the great thing about Mastodon or the Fediverse in general is that=
 it is a federated network with an open standard. Unlike Facebook Messenger=
 or Reddit, it is more similar to email: you can interact with users from d=
ifferent servers (such as <a href=3D"http://fosstodon.org" class=3D"default=
MailLink" rel=3D"noopener noreferrer" data-ik=3D"ik-secure">fosstodon.org</=
a> and <a href=3D"http://mastodon.social" class=3D"defaultMailLink" rel=3D"=

nts a single company from capitalizing the network effect and the control o=
