Social networking that's not for sale.
Your home feed should be filled with what matters to you most, not what a corporation thinks you should see. Radically different social media, back in the hands of the people.
Stay in control of your own timeline
Decentralized social media is created and maintained by its users, making you the owner of your feed. You can be as public or as private as you like and curate your own experience.

Mastodon puts decision making back in the hands of the people. Each server creates their own rules and regulations, which are enforced locally and not top-down like corporate social media. Self-hosting grants even more control by letting you decide the rules.
