Twitter is now an insecure platform, haemmorhaging security experts. It could haemmorhage your DMs, through leak or sale.
It's no hard guarantee, but your best chance to delete them is with is with #GDPR rights. I've written a blog on how:

If you are just joining Mastodon here are a few tips to fully integrate.

Mastodon is best used with some electronic doof doof music on.

Always ask how the weather is in Bruges.

The weirder your haircut the more followers.

Constantly tell people how much you love Tintin and Eurovision.

Knight Rider was merely a side project. The Hoff is more about musical expression.

Keep in mind I am relatively new here, but so far all these steps seem to have helped me greatly.

It should be obvious that the #deathcult has destroyed our civilization, like musk is destroying twitter.

"Salvage" some of the better parts of "society" as well, the rusting flotsam to have any hope of a better life the next 20 years.

For those who don't know, Bookwyrm is basically a better, federated Goodreads. Because it speaks ActivityPub, you can subscribe to someone's Bookwyrm feed from directly in Mastodon and see the book reviews they post!

Also there are 2 spots remaining in the Bookwyrm patreon to pay $40/mo and support the project in a huge way *and* have @tripofmice run a server for you and 50 of your bookwormiest friends: https://www.patreon.com/bookwyrm

@zleap Think you have a grace period to reactivate your account. It'll haunt you! The only way now is to dismantle all of your technology so that it can never be recovered- don't forget the phone, two factor security 👀

I’m boldly going where I haven’t gone before, which is right here at this site. Apparently this is a “toot.” I would appreciate a follow!

I wonder if we can get https://runyourown.social/ to be the next banned url on twitter

Another reason for newspapers, profession/trade organizations, and other well-funded institutions to run servers is to share the load in a federated/distributed ecosystem. The burden--work, cost, risk, liability, responsibility--of this federated conversation we're having right now falls mostly on *volunteers.* Newspapers, magazines, unions, and others need to do their share for their constituents benefit. Besides, newspapers should be fostering conversation as mission.

Hello all #admins! I'm rolling out my own instance soon but having struggles since Mastodon implements its own reverse proxy from the same server, resulting in multiple redirects.

My plan is to move the reverse proxy parts from nginx to my own service where I host all other proxies. This is an Apache because yay.

Question is, does anyone else have the same setup and have a conf ready?

So clarify:
[INTERNET] -> [REVERSE PROXY] -> [INTERNAL MASTODON]

hlp plz
