But I think you need to approach it in a different way from Twitter and Facebook to really see all the benefits. If everyone just signs up to a major instance like mastodon.social, some of the problems you see on platforms like Twitter and Facebook will just be re-introduced as the number of users grows.&lt;p&gt;The programmer&amp;#x2F;artist Darius Kazemi has done a great job articulating a way to use decentralized social networks like Mastodon in a &amp;quot;human-centric&amp;quot; way: &amp;quot;How to run a small social network site for your friends.&amp;quot; [1]&lt;p&gt;I really hope the Fediverse can succeed and thrive, and Mastodon is a big part of that.&lt;p&gt;[1]: &lt;a href=&quot;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;runyourown.social&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;runyourown.social&lt;/a&gt;</text></comment>

Peertube is also using activitypub and can be used with Mastedon.&lt;p&gt;Shameless self-plug. I&amp;#x27;m currently working on a peertube android client which you can find here: &lt;a href=&quot;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;github.com&amp;#x2F;sschueller&amp;#x2F;peertube-android&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;github.com&amp;#x2F;sschueller&amp;#x2F;peertube-android&lt;/a&gt;</text></comment>
