Welcome to Techtoots:

An english Mastodon community focused around tech (any vintage!). We welcome technologists, coders, engineers, gadget lovers, self professed “geeks” and anyone with an interest and love of tech. If you share the opinion that the the best technologies are the ones that most resemble ‘magic’- you’ve found your home in the fediverse!

Social networking, back in your hands!

Sharing your thoughts has never been more convenient. Publish anything you want: links, pictures, text, video. All on a platform that is community-owned and ad-free.

You have 500 characters. You can adjust the thumbnails of your pictures with focal points. You can use custom emojis, hide things behind spoiler warnings and choose who sees a given post. Messed it up? You can delete & redraft for quick corrections.

Without an incentive to sell you things, Mastodon allows you to consume content you enjoy uninterrupted. Your feed is chronological, ad-free and non-algorithmic—you decide who you want to see!

Be sure to check our Terms & Code of Conduct.

Since we do not serve ads and we do not sell data we rely on your support. If you like you can donate to help us out a little to defray the monthly costs of operating our instance. Any support is appreciate and completely voluntary - thanks for your consideration.
