New Privacy Guides article 🔒
by me:

While most social media rely on commercial models harvesting users' data to sell to advertisers,

Mastodon offers a human-centric alternative that doesn't seek profits from your data and attention.

This means better social connections, better controls, and better privacy!

The first part of this article discusses privacy and security on Mastodon.

The second part is a tutorial to guide you in making the most of Mastodon's security and privacy related features.

This tutorial includes how to:

• Enable multifactor authentication 🔑🔑

• Adjust privacy vs discovery 👀

• Select post visibility and access

• Verify yourself

• Delete and back up your data

• Block users and instances ⛔

• Opt out with hashtags #️⃣

• Move from one instance to another 🚀

I hope this helps you making the most of what Mastodon has to offers!
