What is this, an ad that's also sort of a wordplay so it's not really an ad?

Mastodon is the currently most hippest open source alternative to Twitter. Don't know many of the details tho.

No it's not. Mastodon is not Twitter. Mastodon does not compete with Twitter. Mastodon was not meant to replace Twitter. It was meant to replace GNU social. Mastodon is also not the entirety of the fediverse.

I knew that, I run one. (Please don't join it.)

But I don't randomly post it to HN, and it looks like the author of this post is the admin too.
