I really, really appreciate seeing so many follows from mastodon.xyz (a different, new instance). When telling your friends about Mastodon, don't always point them to mastodon.social - point them to mastodon.xyz, icosahedron.website, social.tchncs.de, gay.crime.team etc etc
@Gargron Is there a way to check a Mastodon node is not a rogue one?
@JustPingo Go on /about/more ("About this instance" on the frontpage) and see who the admin is and what they post, what its description is, rules
@Gargron a good feature would be to have an integrated support for PGP on that page =)
