Mastodon
Mastodon is a distributed, federated social network that forms part of the Fediverse, an interconnected and decentralized network of independently operated servers.
Some real-life objects (such as shops) might display their mastodon-profile. This can be tagged with contact:mastodon=*
Mastodon instances
