Wondering what Mastodon is all about? More importantly, what does it offer Python developers and other open source folks compared to Twitter? There is a huge amount of interest in the tech community about what's happening at Twitter and whether they should expand to or even 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 important online watering holes.
<br/>
<br/>
On this episode you'll meet Gina Häußge, Simon Willison, and Juan Luis Cano Rodríguez. We're going to have a great time talking about the technology and the culture of Mastodon from this Python perspective.<br/>
