About
John Mastodon is a fediverse meme which arose on 2022-12-16 when a Mediaite writer reporting on user-bans at X-Twitter apparently[1] misread the name of the "Join Mastodon" account[2]. The fediverse soon spotted this, and promptly wrote the legend into existence.
Examples
Unfortunately, even with the search feature John Mastodon bestowed upon us since his first coming, finding those old posts can be difficult...
- @woozle «Siensc Fack: The pyramids were built by John Mastodon, in a dream. He then used ActivityPub's editing feature to insert them into history.»
- 2025-12-17 @chertridge «John Malkovich is making a new movie. "Being John Mastodon"»
Footnotes
- ↑ 2022-12-16 "Hypocrisy and Fear All the Way Down at Twitter": @GhostArchive -- the original article was quickly corrected, but fedi was quicker.
- ↑ ...which still exists as of this writing on 2025-12-17, although it is no longer listed on the official Join Mastodon site.
