    Can we please stop calling Mastadon a “Twitter alternative”?

    Makes it sound far too derivative in my opinion - Mastadon has a lot going for it that Twitter has never implemented (Federation being the chief one).

    This isn’t at specifically the OP, but rather at the news articles.

      Technology is confusing to the masses, which news articles appeal to. They likely know what Twitter is, and that’s the best comparison.
