    I can’t read this…

    Twitter has blocked its users from sharing some links to its social media rival Mastodon.

    Mastodon is a software and a network, it cannot be a “rival”… it is like saying the Internet is a rival to T-Mobile.

    Mastodon is divided into groups, called servers, based on many topics including the UK, snooker, and security.

    Nope, it is called instances. Servers are computers running services on a network.

    Twitter has blocked links to some of the largest servers which users would join, including the most popular “social” channel.

    There are no "channel"s on the network, just instances.

    Mastodon said it gained hundreds of thousands of users in November, with some Twitter users seeking alternative platforms.

    Again, a person can say something, company representative can, but a network does not say anything.

    OMG. Such a culture shock for some :)

      Mainstream media is having a really hard time trying to cover Mastodon because they keep trying to treat it like a commercial social media company. It’s kind of hilarious.
