Not everyone is happy with Elon Musk taking charge of Twitter. 

Twitter users are worried that Musk’s free speech ideals will lead to more online abuse, and due to this, users have started leaving the platform. 

They have even started looking for an alternative to Twitter 

And one platform has become popular, or stands out 

It is called Mastodon, which claims to be the “largest decentralized social network on the Internet.” 

Mastodon claims it is one platform that cannot be sold, or blocked by governments
