Understaffed security departments

@paxterrarum You remind me of some of my concerns about various other journos or lawyers for example talking about setting up Mastadon servers... how much do these people know about these things? And what would that mean for the user base? I don't worry about it here because @th3j35t3r has that in spades... but it's certainly not in everyone's wheel house!

@catmomdo
I'm sure there's a lot of variation in the security and trustworthiness of Mastodon instances. I'm on another Mastodon instance, where my emphasis is almost entirely work related (technology). I cross-post some stuff on both sites, like the "Cybercriminal's Thanksgiving" post. My other account is
@[email protected].
Jerry, who runs that instance, is another person who knows what he's doing.
