DocMI just wanted to recommend Mastodon to an old friend and while there is an excellent German landing page for Punx (@punxsocial) I needed something in English.
@The_Counterforce to the rescue, they have an extraordinarily well-written introduction.
Punx.Social@DocM adding more languages is on the to-do list. Soon™ @The_Counterforce
