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.

**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.

This repository specifically is for [Plural Café](https://plural.cafe) and is a fork of a fork based on [Mastodon Glitch Edition](https://github.com/glitch-soc/mastodon). Documentation for Mastodon Glitch Edition [can be found here](https://glitch-soc.github.io/docs/).
