Who owns Mastodon? 'Twitter alternative' is new Liberal hotspot as Left flees Elon Musk platform
SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA: In the wake of the world's richest man Elon Musk taking over the social media giant Twitter, many users on the platforms have announced that they are officially opting out. Comedian Kathy Griffin, TV writer and producer David Slack, and film producer Jeremy Newberger have declared that they’re leaving Twitter in favor of a similar-looking ‘alternative’ Mastodon, according to Forbes.
Since the chaotic take-over, Musk has been trying to make constant changes that have outraged the public, resulting in some users migrating to new "Twitter alternatives" to leave updates about their daily musings. Benefiting from all this is none other than Mastodon, termed as the most 'promising' among the potential alternatives. The app gained 70,000 new users on the day Musk purchased Twitter. As of November, the platform has become home to 655,000 new users.
