What do you mean by "not on the web"? It is accessible on the web. Everybody with a web browser can see public posts and replies. For writing new posts, you need an account though. Here is the public account of Mastodon's founder: https://mastodon.social/@Gargron https://mastodon.social/@Gargron

I can’t post or reply by creating a web page, and identity is not email or dns, but specific to whatever mastadon instance I register with. I already have a domain, blog, and email. Posts, replies, likes, etc. But mastadon doesn’t work with the web, or my existing web identity - instead it’s entirely based on federated ActivityPub servers plus various extensions.
