Open source microblogging site has seen surge of interest since Musk took over Twitter.

Ars Technica
@thierryratsiz Ah yes, Mastodon, the _site_, in singular.
@galffy In the article, they are clear they are talking about Eugen Rochko's team, not every Mastodon instance.
@ZMYaro Not clear at all actually. For most of the article "Mastodon" is not framed as an open source software anyone can run (yes, there is a boilerplate later)
