As many users seek alternatives to X, rival social network Mastodon says that its official app downloads are up 47% on iOS.

Mastodon founder Eugen Rochko says downloads on Android are also up 17%, while total monthly sign-ups rose approximately 27% to 90,000.

The open-source X rival functions much like its competitor, the site formerly known as Twitter, on the outside. However, unlike the centralized Twitter, Mastodon consists of thousands of different social networks, which are integrated into a web it calls the "fediverse."

iOS friends, check out the Mastodon client Ice Cubes.

It's free (beer and speech) and it's very good IMO.

Also, after you settle on a server, consider setting up a recurring donation to your admin to help with server costs. The way I see it, it's that or ads and enshitification.
