joinmastodon.org and the user docs list no AI features. Mastodon can translate posts (machine translation), which our definition doesn't count. Each server is run by someone else. We read the maker's own pages; we didn't install the app for this check.

Apps change, so Mastodon may add AI features after our check. Report a change · What we count as generative AI
