-
-*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].
