I’m dipping my toes into making some of my content available to people who are using Mastodon. If you’re using Mastodon, can you see, `@craig@constantine.name` out in the Fediverse?

(…and no, I’m not going to **podcast** via Mastodon.)

This turned out to be very easy. There’s a plugin for Wordpress which makes the site visible in the [Mastodon “fediverse”](https://joinmastodon.org). If you’re on Mastodon you can now follow `craig@constantine.name` simply by searching in whatever you’re using to access Mastodon.

As a further experiment, I connected Movers Mindset to the Mastodon fediverse. Following `craig@moversmindset.com` will find the things that Movers Mindset is publishing.

🤔 Addresses in the Mastondon fediverse looks like email addresses. Just _like_ email, the format is **`someone`** `@` **`example.com`**.

If you’ve been scratching your head wondering if Mastodon is worth understanding… yes, it is. It’s not a “Twitter replacement” — it’s a different way for people to associate with each other. In current “social media” platforms, we the users are the product. In a federated system such as Mastodon, there’s no 3rd-party coercion.
