Mastodawn

because direct messages on Mastodon are clear-text, all admins are subject to warrants from their local/regional law enforcement agencies

same with usage metadata like IP addresses and time stamps

i disabled IP logging in UFW and nginx, but Mastodon itself still logs this to be able to present it to the user for authentication transparency

making mastodon more resistant to targeted surveillance would be valuable to protect users

@yawnbox Use an instance with a #tor #onion interface?

Serving Mastodon through Tor onion services.

@downey yes that is an option. unfortunately this is not an on-by-default option and therefore will not best-protect most users
