Mastodon the Band Have Fun Getting Confused With Mastodon the Social Network
Mastodon recently released their seventh studio album, Emperor of Sand. But it turns out the Atlanta metal group are not the only Mastodon in town; the band shares a name with a recently launched social media network called Mastodon, which touts itself as a “free, open-source social network” that is billed as an alternative to Twitter. As Mashable points out, the band have been having fun with this fact the past few days, quote-retweeting notable people posting about the new platform and promoting their new album. “To be fair, we made Mastodon happen a long time ago, but welcome to the game,” one tweet reads. They even went so far as to tag Twitter founder Jack Dorsey, saying, “Hey @Jack, we swear we have no intention of harming you. Not sure why people keep saying that.” Check out the tweets below, and check out Mastodon (the social media platform) here.
