Mastodon est un média social similaire à Twitter. Comme sur ce dernier, vous pouvez poster de courts messages, partager les messages d’autres personnes, vous abonner à leur compte, etc.

You have fine-grained, but very concise control over where each post goes. Each post has a limit of 500 characters, and you can add a content warning, which will be the only thing initially displayed if you do. You can then choose to read the rest or not.
