Last week Mr. Elon Musk finally officially started to acquire it twitter, something that not everyone necessarily saw with a good eye.

Twitter co-founder Jack Dorsey for example, he is testing a new application called blue sky, although it has not yet been officially released.

However, on another platform that has been around for 6 years, the number of users has suddenly increased. Actually more than 70 000 users suddenly turned to mastodon.

It’s a platform open source where free and the like follows microblogging twitter logic.

Is decentralized, which means that there is no specific person, company or server through which it works, which in the eyes of many seems to be a more democratic choice.

As for its name, it comes from the prehistoric species of elephants of the same name (Greek for “mastodon”).

In fact, as Mastodon himself declared, its 70,000 new users came on the first day of Musk’s acquisition of Twitter, andwhich can be directly related to the general dissatisfaction with the new boss and, accordingly, the new era of Twitter.

We remind you that Elon Musk bought Twitter, in a deal on height 44 billion dollars. The new head of the company did not waste time and dismissed with “good morning” his top executives, while, as announced, the richest man in the world plans to charge $8 per month for certified accounts on the platform.

Will Mastodon be the next Twitter? Time will tell.
