An anarchist-oriented Mastodon server has seen one of its admins raided by the FBI. The admin in question was working with an unencrypted backup of the Mastodon server, which was also seized.

    I asked “why,” not “who” or “how.” “Various things” is the vaguest possible answer you could have given.

    Why would user IPs be stored?

      it can be useful for tracking bad actors and blocking them from access.

          Why ask a question if you refuse the answer?

          No need to be pretentious when you don’t get the answer you want.
