Like many people, I find social media somewhat exciting and also…a bit much. Sometimes you get deep-fried in algorithms, tracking data, and ads catered especially for you. You lack administrative control over what you want to see, especially on the old platforms many of us are used to. As usual, you must look to open source to fix the problem. And that’s exactly what Mastodon, an open source microblogging community, does.
