Previously, on this blog, I have mentioned Mastodon – the free and open source social network that is akin to Twitter. The more keen-eyed reader might have also noticed that my username on Mastodon was @lychee@mstdn.io

If you have never heard of Mastodon before and wonder how it’s different from Twitter or Facebook, then you can watch this short video:

My new username on Mastodon is @matt@oslo.town and whilst the website domain is clearly targeted to residents of Norway’s capital city of Oslo – anyone is welcome to join. Sign up to Mastodon today!

And remember: you can sign up to any local community and still connect with the wider world. So, regardless of your Mastodon username, follow me:

@matt@oslo.town

Thanks.
