Roundtable

This new microblogging site is especially popular among left wing and liberal Twitter users who are worried about Musk’s proposed changes in the name of freedom of speech. Mastodon has now surpassed 1 million daily active users, but can it really take on the might of Twitter, which is up to 250 times bigger?
