mastodon is, besides an extinct mammal and a metal band, a decentralized open-source social media tool. If I'm understanding it correctly, there are a lot of different servers running mastodon software. These are called instances. People with accounts on one instance can interact with people on other instances. All these instances together are called a federation. It seems to be particulary popular with people who are fed up with twitter, because of it's lack of ads and increased discourse between people running the instances and people using it. It also seems to be popular among japanese people, for two of the biggest instances are japanese language, one of which is hosted by pixiv.
It is also possible to host a private mastodon instance that is invisible to outsiders. This could prove very helpful for companies.

To be so filled with seething angst and rage, your only thought is to utter a gutteral growl, like a Mastodon.

MASSIVE tits. Boobs of such grand proportions that they could knock someone out if the women possessing turns around too fast. You can hear the milk swooshing within the tits because there is so much extra space within.
Don't get too close when you surprise her, if she spins too fast and you're within range of the Mastodon Tits, they'll send you to the moon!
