Mastodon is the Linux of social media. The UX needs a little work but the momentum behind the project might help it overtake the other proprietary platforms.
While I can use Mastodon as is, I can't help myself from looking under the hood, and I'll be forever tempted to run my own server.

I couldn't resist the temptation. Took only a few hours yesterday to make notroot.social.

@notroot @BrideOfLinux if I understand things correctly that’s a local server admin decision right? If I run my server I set my own rules.

@kelseyhightower @notroot I think that's generally the case.

Yup. I cribbed the rules from universeodon.com, but I also turned off registration. Nobody can sign up to notroot.social. But I can invite people, should I choose to.
