## Overview
Mastodon is a free, open-source microblogging social network. It is a decentralized alternative to commercial platforms like Twitter and avoids the risks of a single company monopolizing your communication for commercial purposes. 

**Shipped version:** 3.3.0

## Important points to read before installing

1. **Mastodon** require a dedicated **root domain**, eg. mastodon.domain.tld
1. The user choosen during the installation is automatically created in Mastodon with admin rights
1. At the end of the installation a mail is sent to the user with the automatically generated password
1. It seems important to close the inscriptions for your Mastodon, so that it remains a private body. We invite you to block remote malicious instances from the administration interface. You can also add text on your home page.
