Most people think you “sign up to Mastodon.”
That’s not quite true.
You sign up to a server, and that connects you to a much larger network.
Mastodon is software that runs on those servers.
ActivityPub is the protocol that lets them all talk to each other.
That shift from platform to protocol changes who has power, who owns their presence, and how easy it is to leave without losing everything.

We’re building @oweo to help people navigate the Fediverse across different software and servers, without losing that freedom.
And we’d love to hear what you want that experience to feel like.
