Da das Interesse an der Twitter-Alternative #Mastodon dank #Musk steigt, ein paar Tipps um dem Umstieg zu vereinfachen. Am Anfang kann manches verwirren und hat mich verwirrt. Darum ein kleines „Mastodon für Dummies“. 1/13 
Mastodon ist dezentral organisiert. Darum gibt es nicht nur euch und Mastodon, sondern dazwischen geschaltet noch einmal „Instanzen“. Wenn ihr euch einen Account macht, dann ist er immer bei einer Instanz. Das könnt ihr euch ähnlich vorstellen, wie bei E-Mails. 2/13
Bei E-Mails macht ihr euch auch ein Account bei xyz.org und könnt dann aber mit Adressen bei anderen Anbieter*innen kommunizieren. Darum sind die Namen bei Mastodon auch immer @user@instanz. 3/13
As promised, here is my #thread on #Mastodon on popular demand.

First thing you should know that #mastodon is a decentralized social media platform.
That is the fundamental difference between of it from #twitter or #facebook.
A decentralized network, which means there is no central group with all of the power.
So here it is #fediverse

#mastodon isn’t just a website, it is a federation.
There are thousands, of small communities that live within the Mastodon system.
Each one is independent and unique, but they can all talk to one another.
These communities are called "INSTANCES".
