Could Mastodon replace Twitter?

As we discussed recently on Do You Really Know, Elon Musk’s Twitter buyout has been causing concern not just among company employees, but also” the platform’s users. Around a month has passed since the Tesla and Space X boss expanded his portfolio with the acquisition of Twitter.

But he’s already fired over half of all employees and made a host of other unpopular changes. Some users have already decided it’s time to look elsewhere, and that’s where Mastodon comes into the equation. The small social network was created back in 2016 by then 23-year-old German IT engineer Eugen Rochko. Now might just be its time to shine.

What kind of social network is Mastdodon then? What’s the point in switching if the two platforms are so similar? Is it calmer than Twitter? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!
