+
+*Mastodon* is a [federated][fedi] social network, with a Twitter-like
+<abbr title="user interface">UI</abbr>.
+
+[fedi]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fediverse
+
+## Features
+
+- Content feeds: **home** (posts from accounts you follow), **local** (public
+  posts from accounts on the same instance), and **federated** (public posts
+  from connected servers)
+- Character limit: 500, which is much longer than Twitter 
+  <abbr title="for what it's worth">fwiw</abbr>
+- Customizable web UI
+- Various available clients on all platforms
+- Instance custom emojis
+- Moderation
+  - Instance admins are capable of blocking contents from other servers on
+      different levels
+  - Normal members are capable of mute and block other users or instances, and
+      filter words
+- Accounts can be exported and migrated to another server (posts are not
+    migrated, however)
+
+## Forks
+
+Mastodon has a few forks, the most two popular ones are [Mastodon Glitch
+Edition][gs] and [hometown][ht], which provides some extra features.

+
+## Personal opinions
+
+Overall, Mastodon gives a nice and intuitive user interface.  It also provides
+quite flexible tools for moderating your timeline.  However, this can be abused
+by some instance admins who would block other instances without specific
+reason, which pretty much defeats the purpose of federation.
+
+Mastodon doesn't support markups (the [glitch-soc][gs] fork does,
+<abbr title="as far as I know">afaik</abbr>).  This can be limiting if you like
+embedding links into the text.  For this reason, I prefer
+[Pleroma][pleroma].
