A lot of people make up all kinds of wild assumptions Mastodon, how it works, and what it is. We're here to help clear up some of the biggest ones.

Hey there! Figured I’d share here since my main instance, Lemmy.ml, seems to be really broken right now. I published an article today focusing on some of the myths and misconceptions Mastodon users have spread over the last few years, with some critical analysis and debunking.

Let me know if you like it!

    Meee tooo, hard disappoint. I was thrilled there were a whopping 10 misconceptions about the extinct animal!

      One misconception is that mastodons sharpened their tusk points with a nail file while giving their enemy the evil eye. Never happened.

      Why would you expect that from a fediverse community post?

      I blame the thumbnail, though.

      Edit: or maybe I can’t take a joke…
