Description
We talked with Eugen Rochko, the creator of Mastodon, about where Mastodon came from the problem it aimed to solve. How it’s not exactly Twitter alternative, although that's its known claim to fame. Why it's probably not going anywhere.

And finally, the story behind naming posted content a “toot”.
