Digital Security on Mastodon: Advice for those in conflict zones or other high-risk areas:

When using Mastodon in conflict zones or other high-risk areas, it is particularly important to be aware of how you can protect your account and digital information. While every situation is different, you can improve the general security of your Mastodon account and manage its visibility in a few steps. Navigating account settings is critical for human rights activists, journalists and others facing digital security threats. With the evolving situation in Ukraine.

Made some changes to our #Tor config for #mstdn   

We now serve a self-signed certificate to avoid issues with https, it seemed easier this way since cookies where blocked on http.

If you see a post that breaks the rules on your instance (such as spam, hate speech, doxxing etc), you can report it by clicking "..." below the message. This message goes to your own instance admin, who can block the account.

Optionally, you can also anonymously report it to the instance of the account that posted it. Just click on the toggle switch to do this.

This means the rule breaker's own instance admin can potentially close the account completely.

If you're on Mastodon, you can contact the admin who runs your instance by clicking on "About this server" in the bottom left corner.

The section marked "Administered by" should include contact details for your instance admin.

Bear in mind, because Mastodon is federated, the admin only has control over their own instance. What happens on other instances is beyond their control, though they can block connections with specific instances if necessary.
