Since there's a lot of new people, here's a primer:

This is mastodon.social, hosted by me. We have a code of conduct:

mastodon.social isn't the only Mastodon server. There are interest and region-specific servers with varying rules. Browse all servers:

@Gargron so for a different Mastodon server I need to sign up with another username/password, or can I use the same one for every server?

@eduardo_yanez @Gargron different mastodon servers are different websites, you will need a new account, like you have separate accounts on facebook and twitter

The difference is on mastodon, you don’t need an account on each instance to talk to everyone, you can use an account on any server to talk to anyone else (for example, I’m on wandering.shop and I can see both you and Gargron’s posts, even though you are on mastodon.social and you can see my post as well)
