In fact, for every 363 active users on Twitter, there’s now one on Mastodon, CNN’s figures suggest (since Twitter has nearly “238 million daily active monetizable users”). Exploring the recent spike, they note that Mastodon “has a similar look to Twitter, with a timeline of short updates sorted chronologically rather than algorithmically. It lets users join a slew of different servers run by various groups and individuals, rather than one central platform controlled by a single company like Twitter, Instagram, or Facebook.”
Unlike larger social networks, Mastodon is both free to use and free of ads. It’s operated by a nonprofit run by Mastodon creator Eugen Rochko, and is supported via crowdfunding… “It is not as large as Twitter, obviously, but it is the biggest that this network has ever been,” said Rochko, who originally created Mastodon as more of a project than a consumer product (and, yes, its name was inspired by the heavy metal band Mastodon)….
A lot of Mastodon’s features and layout (particularly in its iOS app) will look and feel familiar to current Twitter users, though with some slightly different verbiage; you can follow others, create short posts (there’s a 500 character limit, and you can upload images and videos), favorite or repost other users’ posts, and so on…. There are some key differences, particularly in how the network is set up. Because Mastodon users’ accounts are hosted on a slew of different servers, the costs of hosting users is spread among many different people and groups. But that also means users are spread out all over the place, and people you know can be hard to find.
CNN also notes the problem with signing up for a Mastodon server: “some of which are open to anyone, some of which require an invitation (you can also run your own server). There is a server operated by the nonprofit behind Mastodon, Mastodon.social, but it’s not accepting more users.”
Although trending on the server I found today: #Caturday photos.

TOWIE star Liam ‘Gatsby’ Blackwell revealed that the ITVBe show has been the best experience of his life – but feels like it’s now time to grow up.
The 34-year-old made the decision to leave the programme earlier this month.

Liam joined the cast of Towie as Lydia Bright’s best pal in 2016, and over the years has become a huge fan favourite.
The reality star revealed his plans to move to Los Angeles in a recent episode, leaving his co-stars gobsmacked.
Tonight marked his final appearance on the show.
Reminiscing on his time on Towie, Liam told us in an exclusive interview: “It’s been the best experience of my life and I’ve had so much fun but I’ve done all that now.

“It has been one big party but now it’s time to grow up.”
Over the past seven years, Liam has been involved in a number of dramatic storylines, including his turbulent relationship with ex Dani Imbert.
Despite how it ended between them, he has no regrets.
“I don’t regret anything,” he said.
“I was going to say my relationship but it has been part of it so I can’t say that. I don’t think there’s anything I regret.
“If I hadn’t gone through those bad periods in the series, I might not have made the decision to leave.”
Liam revealed that he’s excited to finally make the move over to the US after originally making plans to go before his Towie stint.
He explained: “LA has always been a dream of mine and I felt like there was nothing here for me here.
“Before Towie I had been doing real estate exams already to move to LA, and I remember on my 27th birthday I was literally moving to LA, but I then got the call from Towie saying I was going to Marbella to do the first series.
“All my plans got put on hold but real estate in LA has always been my plan.

“Towie came along and took seven years from my life but I’d never, ever regret it.”
Liam has also said that he has no plans to return to the ITVBe show in the future.
Ever since the internet has become commonplace in most peoples’ homes, it’s become ingrained in our everyday lives. We use…

He then offered further guidance on how kernel devs can do it right. “Yes, the merge window is two weeks, but that’s very much to allow me time to look things over, not ‘two weeks to hurriedly put together a branch that you send Linus on Friday of the second week’,” he wrote. “The whole ‘do an all-nighter to get the paper in the day before the deadline’ is something that should have gone out the window after high school. Not for kernel development.” His next line was: “You know who you are.”
“Anyway, it’s not the first time I’ve said this, I doubt it will be the last. But maybe more people could take it to heart, ok?” he added, before concluding his post with a slightly non-traditional call for testers to visit Linux’s git tree because “The merge window may not be the biggest ever, but it’s certainly big enough that the shortlog is much too big to post, and below is just my usual merge log.” “For all the gory details, please refer to the git tree.”
