   Here are some hints and tips for users wanting to stay safe on Mastodon:

   https://growyourown.services/staying-safe-on-mastodon/

   It covers all the safety related tips I've posted so far.

   I'll try to add tips related to more Fedi platforms later.

     Fair point, I've tweaked it a bit to make this clearer. Thanks for feedback :)

     @feditips Quick note: it might be worth mentioning the distinction between Public and Unlisted - from a security perspective, they're very roughly equivalent, but Unlisted posts are not included on Local and Federated timelines, so they tend to get a little less visibility.

     ...but also that's /just/ a trend (unlisted posts can and do go viral), and they still show up on your profile, so, it's more an asterisk than a full part of your point.

     - Packbats ?

     That deletes the post though, it's not the same post any more. Links to it won't work and boosts will disappear.

     Fortunately there's a solution on the way, proper post editing should be in the next update! There's a demo post of it here:

     @feditips These overviews are really useful! ?

     I think I've noticed an error though: at one point you say "You cannot currently change the visibility of a post after you’ve published it, so make sure you choose the correct visibility before posting". I think however that this is possible via 'Delete & redraft'. Am I right in this?

     I've just tested this with my own server at social.growyourown.services. I created a test user and sent a DM to an account on another server.

     As far as I can tell, I cannot find any method for reading the test user's message, there's nothing in the admin interface that allows this?

     @feditips Really cool! I'm thinking about if it would be a good idea adding the fact that your servers admin (and the admin of the server of the person you're talking to? No idea if this is the case) could read your messages to the E2EE section. Because I never thought about this until someone pointed it out to me.
