Hello everyone. I am still learning about the fediverse.

I wanted to create a Mastadon account, and I see many different options for servers. I couldn’t necessarily search which servers value privacy like this community does, so I am hoping you can inform me what servers DO offer that mindset.

And finally, do you just trust that they follow this, or is there a way to verify?

It seems like, from my understanding, my information will be stored by someone else, somewhere, in hopes it’s protected.

    The way to ensure privacy is running your own instance. It’s rather simple with services like masto.host and some VPS providers might have one click solutions. Otherwise, you have to trust an admin of an instance, especially with the Meta stuff.
