There is something which scares me on mastodon. I see more and more people installing instances while they don't have a clue about what they're doing.

Then their instance is going to be listed on the website and people will be randomly redirected toward them when someone wants to use mastodon.

But then what happen?

Hosting someone's services is not fun or anything. It's a liability and I hope you have that in mind.

Also, pick carefully your instance.

@Vigdis I've been thinking about this as well. Lots of instances, how long before one or two of them are put up by bad actors with an agenda. Not everyone is savvy enough to have different passwords for different accounts, and this seems like the perfect opportunity for some social engineering. While I think the community will respond quickly as it matures, this is a bit of the wild wild west right now.
