Mastodon is quite different though, and the sign-up process in particular can trip up new users. You can follow others, create short posts (there’s a 500 character limit, and you can upload images and videos), favorite or repost other users’ posts, and so on. ![]() ![]() Things are the same, but also very differentĪ lot of Mastodon’s features and layout (particularly in its iOS and Android apps) will look familiar to current Twitter users, though with some slightly different verbiage. Whether you’re interested in leaving Twitter or just want to check out something new, read on to find out how to sign up and thrive with Mastodon. Mastodon and Twitter have some similarities, yet they’re quite different - both in how they work and how they’re operated. Davide Bonaldo/SOPA Images/Shutterstockīut while it can be exciting to seek out a new social network, it can be tricky, too. The Mastodon Android app's sign-in page is displayed here on a smartphone screen. It’s fun and energizing, and, frankly, feels a lot like the early days of Twitter. In my little corner of the decentralized social network there’s been a frenetic, almost party-like vibe for days as more people arrive and longtime users offer tips and answer questions. I am one of these Mastodon newcomers, trying it out of curiosity and because Twitter has felt increasingly toxic over time. “That’s pretty cool,” Rochko said of the milestone. (For perspective, Twitter reported in July that it had nearly 238 million daily active monetizable users.) In a Mastodon post late Sunday, Rochko said the social network gained 489,000 users in the less than two weeks, and now boasts over one million active monthly users. Users have been fleeing Twitter for it in recent days or at least seeking out a second place to post their thoughts online as the much more well-known social network faces layoffs, controversial product changes, an expected shift in its approach to content moderation and a jump in hateful rhetoric. It’s developed by a nonprofit run by Eugen Rochko, who created Mastodon in 2016, and is supported via crowdfunding, as well as by individuals and groups who operate servers. While all of these social networks are free to use, Mastodon is also free of ads. Mastodon lets users join a slew of different servers run by various groups and individuals, rather than one central platform controlled by a single company like Twitter, Instagram, or Facebook. We have created an entire step-by-step guide on what to do to complete the Easter Egg in Shadows of Evil, but for those that would rather refer to a video, the YouTube channel ActionPacked has prepared a video guide detailing the Zombies Easter Egg.If you’ve heard the word “mastodon” a lot since Elon Musk took over Twitter in late October, here’s why: The extinct mammal is also the name of a relatively small, formerly little-known social network that has skyrocketed in popularity, as many Twitter users try it out as an alternative for connecting with others online. The first item needed for the Easter Egg is the Summoning Key, and it is found on Easy Street (the starting area), on the back of a truck in a box with chains all over it. ![]() To break this box, use the nearby purple torch to transform into the "Beast", a tentacled monster that has three abilities. Pull the left trigger to shoot electricity, which is used to charge switches on the map, and pull the right trigger to grapple onto eagle head statues. Click in the right analog stick to perform a melee attack, which can be used to break the box on the back of the truck, as well as other boxes and similar-looking doors. Objects that the Beast can interact with typically glow with an orange light, so keep that in mind. Smash the box on the back of the truck with a melee attack and collect the Summoning Key, which is in the shape of an orb. The next goal is to collect four sacrificial items and perform the rituals associated with them. Keep in mind that the items and the rituals can be done in any order. Furthermore, this entire Easter Egg can be completed co-op or solo, a recent and appreciated Zombies trend that started with Exo Zombies in Advanced Warfare. The Lawyer's Pen is right outside the Easy Street gates, in an area of the map known as Junction, which has a crane in its center. Transform into the Beast again and charge the switch on the side of the crane to power it up. This will cause the crane to rotate and drop a crate to the ground. Go over to where the crate fell to find the Lawyer's Pen amidst the remains. Picking up the sacrificial items will cause floating demon-like enemies to spawn called Keepers, but they're easily killed. They're much less intimidating than zombie mannequins, that's for sure. ![]() There is now a new set of stairs that allow access into the Ruby Rabbit as a human. Head inside and climb the stairs to the top to begin the Detective's Badge ritual.
