On The Road to Macstock Conference and Expo Brett Terpstra previews his upcoming talk on Mastodon, highlighting its benefits over traditional social media platforms. He provides some thoughts on how to choose the right server, migrate accounts, and even host your own instance for better control. The session aims to guide users through Mastodon’s structure and community, helping them get the most out of the platform while eliminating confusion. Brett also shares why he’s left most other platforms behind in favor of Mastodon and Facebook.
