What is Mastodon?

It's social media. It looks and feels like Twitter, but underneath it operates very differently.

If you don't care about technical implementation details (like the vast majority of people..) you just need to understand that a “server” (often also referred to as an “instance”, they're the same thing) is a website where you sign up for an account. Also important to understand is that you can follow and interact with any other account that exists on any Mastodon server/instance.
