-Mastodon is a **free, open-source social network server** based on **open web protocols** like ActivityPub and OStatus. The social focus of the project is a viable decentralized alternative to commercial social media silos that returns the control of the content distribution channels to the people. The technical focus of the project is a good user interface, a clean REST API for 3rd party apps and robust anti-abuse tools.
+So here's the deal: we all work on this code, and then it runs on dev.glitch.social and anyone who uses that does so absolutely at their own risk. can you dig it?

-**Ruby on Rails** is used for the back-end, while **React.js** and Redux are used for the dynamic front-end. A static front-end for public resources (profiles and statuses) is also provided.

-## Features
-
-**No vendor lock-in: Fully interoperable with any conforming platform**
-
-It doesn't have to be Mastodon, whatever implements ActivityPub or OStatus is part of the social network!
-
-**Real-time timeline updates**
-
-See the updates of people you're following appear in real-time in the UI via WebSockets. There's a firehose view as well!
-
-**Federated thread resolving**
-
-If someone you follow replies to a user unknown to the server, the server fetches the full thread so you can view it without leaving the UI
-
-**Media attachments like images and short videos**
-
-Upload and view images and WebM/MP4 videos attached to the updates. Videos with no audio track are treated like GIFs; normal videos are looped - like vines!
-
-**OAuth2 and a straightforward REST API**
-
-Mastodon acts as an OAuth2 provider so 3rd party apps can use the API
-
-**Fast response times**
-
-Mastodon tries to be as fast and responsive as possible, so all long-running tasks are delegated to background processing
-
-**Deployable via Docker**
-
-You don't need to mess with dependencies and configuration if you want to try Mastodon, if you have Docker and Docker Compose the deployment is extremely easy
