https://mastodon.social being down, presumably because they're testing some of their latest features they're working on, and in the process kicking 1 million out of the 11.8 million people* (thanks @nemobis for the correction) from the fediverse is a good reminder to check out other Mastodon instances, or even other fediverse services and platforms.

There are noch "other fediverse networks". The only network is the #Fediverse with a lot of different services and platforms - Mastodon is one of all them.
And yes - if you will stay on a Mastodon implementation you can search for an other server - there are out many of them. And if you whan to go further you can choose a platform wiht #Plermoma, #Friendcia, #Hubzilla, #Misskey, #Calckey and others only for Microblogging. For other services you find more.
