Mastodon is an alternative implementation of GNU social, a free,
open-source social network. It is a decentralized alternative to
commercial platforms based on ActivityStreams, Webfinger, PubsubHubbub
and Salmon. The project focuses on creating a clean REST API and a good
user interface. Ruby on Rails is used for the back-end, while React.js
and Redux are used for the dynamic front-end.
For easier maintenance of the port some part of the installation
procedure remains to be completed by the end user. The main howto is
available at https://wiki.freebsd.org/Ports/net-im/mastodon.
A great thanks to Stefano Marinelli for the fabulous post on running
Mastodon on a FreeBSD instance which helped a lot in porting this. The
link to the original post is also available on the above mentioned wiki
page.
