Really sad that a site that showed such promise is now starting down the same road as twitter, banning people on false accusations of rule/policy violations.

Mastodon is a decentralized social media platform that lets you share thoughts, follow people, and build communities—without algorithms controlling your feed. It’s open-source, ad-free, and split into independent servers (called instances), giving you full control over your experience. Think of it as social media reimagined for freedom, privacy, and real human connection.
