Wondering what Mastodon is all about?

More importantly, what does it offer Python developers and other open source folks compared to Twitter?

There's a huge amount of interest in the tech community about what's happening at Twitter

and about whether people should expand to or even entirely move to a new location.

So I decided to put together a set of experienced Python developers who have been Mastodon inhabitants

for a long time to discuss what this unexpected shift means for one of our most important

online watering holes. On this episode, you'll meet Gina Houska, Simon Willison, Carol

Willing, and Juan Luis Cano Rodriguez. We're going to have a great time talking about the technology and the culture of Mastodon

from this Python perspective.

This is Talk Python to Me, episode 390, recorded Monday, a weekly podcast on Python. This is your host, Michael Kennedy. Follow me on Massadon, where I'm at M-Kennedy and follow the podcast using at Talk Python, both on

Boston.org. Be careful with impersonating accounts on other instances. There are many.
