Mastodon doesn't prevent censorship. If anything it makes it worse. Instead of dealing with professional community managers operating with clear rules, you are at the mercy of some random nerd running a server from his mom's basem

There are techniques? I gave up after the fourth or fifth paragraph of hype. I suppose there are enough Javascript haters here to take the bait, but I've learned that when someone has to tell you how great something is a dozen times be

This sort of thing seems to be happening more and more. More often to protestors who don't have as much protection and attention. What, if any, technologies exist to safe guard against this sort of thing? Are there tracking devices, or
