Mastodon is a **free, open-source social network server** based on ActivityPub where users can follow friends and discover new ones. On Mastodon, users can publish anything they want: links, pictures, text, video. All Mastodon servers are interoperable as a federated network (users on one server can seamlessly communicate with users from another one, including non-Mastodon software that implements ActivityPub!)

### No vendor lock-in: Fully interoperable with any conforming platform
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
It doesn't have to be Mastodon; whatever implements ActivityPub is part of the social network! [Learn more](https://blog.joinmastodon.org/2018/06/why-activitypub-is-the-future/)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Real-time, chronological timeline updates
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Updates of people you're following appear in real-time in the UI via WebSockets. There's a firehose view as well!
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Media attachments like images and short videos
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Upload and view images and WebM/MP4 videos attached to the updates. Videos with no audio track are treated like GIFs; normal videos loop continuously!
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Safety and moderation tools
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Mastodon includes private posts, locked accounts, phrase filtering, muting, blocking and all sorts of other features, along with a reporting and moderation system. [Learn more](https://blog.joinmastodon.org/2018/07/cage-the-mastodon/)

|
### OAuth2 and a straightforward REST API
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Mastodon acts as an OAuth2 provider, so 3rd party apps can use the REST and Streaming APIs. This results in a rich app ecosystem with a lot of choices!
