MATHStodon

What the heck is MATHStodon? MATHStodon is an “instance” of Mastodon. Mastodon is a decentralized social network made up of independent servers organized around specific themes, topics, or interests. And, MATHStodon is an “instant” or one of these individual servers or nodes that make up the larger Mastodon network. Unlike other social media sites, there are NO ADS in the MATHStodon, and your feed is only the people that you decide to follow. There are no “suggested” posts or verified accounts. And unlike twitter which has a lot of junk on it, MATHStodon is a place for people who love math and is run by a mathematician, Christian Lawson-Perfect.
