Elon Musk admits banning links to Twitter rival was a mistake
“from approximately 300k monthly active users to 2.5m between the months of October and November, with more and more journalists, political figures, writers, actors and organisations moving over”.all links to the rival service and suspended users who tweeted out their Mastodon usernames, but has now admitted the apparent move to prevent Twitter users migrating was an error.
Mozilla, the developer of the popular Firefox browser, seems to disagree with that take, joining the rush to create a presence on the platfrom.
A Mastodon instance is similar to an email service provider: all users must join one instance, but can communicate with users on others once they have. Currently, two of the most popular instances are run by Rochko, with many smaller ones operated by hobbyists, but there is no equivalent to Gmail – a large company running a free and popular instance that becomes the default for the service.
However, Mastodon is also compatible with a wider array of communities using a technology called ActivityPub, which lets services like photo sharing, podcasting and social networking all share content with each other.
