For those who don't know, Mastodon is just one server implementation of the ActivityPub protocol, which is used to send posts between social media servers. Two people on different servers can send each other Twitter-like posts and the two servers use ActivityPub to transfer those posts.

All the servers that use ActivityPub are collectively called the Fediverse. There are 6000-7000 Fediverse servers, though most of them have <50 users. You can host your own server, but most people join one of the larger servers.

I have an account on https://liberdon.com/about. Stackers will be particularly interested in https://bitcoinhackers.org/about/more. No matter which server you join, I recommend setting up more than one account across more than one server, just in case one of those servers goes down or you get banned from one.

But be warned, the federated timeline is the wild west. The servers don't spoon-feed you content or people to follow, so you will have to do a little bit of searching to find like-minded people.

I schizopost a lot on the Fediverse, so if you're into that you can follow me (https://liberdon.com/@orthzar). And check out the people who I follow and the people who follow me for others who you might like to follow.

Also, here's a short list of Bitcoiners who have accounts on the Fediverse: https://bitcoinhackers.org/@DarthCoin (you know you want to follow him) https://bitcointv.com/a/thrillerx/video-channels https://bitcointv.com/c/stackernews/videos https://bitcoinhackers.org/@jimmysong https://bitcoinhackers.org/@georgevaccaro https://bitcoinhackers.org/@mir_btc https://bitcoinhackers.org/@dergigi https://x0f.org/@waxwing https://bitcoinhackers.org/@NunyaBidness
