Most of you know, but just in case
The fedi, like anywhere on the internet, has scammers
Scammers incite panic by mentioning account deletion or freezing
On Mastodon, the server owner, server admin & server moderator accounts have profile badges & are the only accounts who can delete, limit or freeze your account completely
External admins & mods can only restrict or block accounts from their own server, they cannot system-wide nuke accounts
No-one will ask for your password, nor insist you transfer your account to an email address they specify
If in doubt talk to your server admin or mod team 🙏
