As many users seek alternatives to X, rival social network Mastodon says that its official app downloads are up 47% on iOS.

Mastodon founder Eugen Rochko says downloads on Android are also up 17%, while total monthly sign-ups rose approximately 27% to 90,000.

The open-source X rival functions much like its competitor, the site formerly known as Twitter, on the outside. However, unlike the centralized Twitter, Mastodon consists of thousands of different social networks, which are integrated into a web it calls the “fediverse.”

    you need to know what domain your friend uses for email if you email them

    you need to know your friend’s area code if you call or text them

    you need to know the password that goes with your username on your computer

    not blaming you for your friends struggling with this, just, ugh, how does anyone struggle with this?
