I can't believe @Gargron@mastodon.social hasn't banned this account after all these years.
It's Halloween so it's a spooky day, but you know what's even spookier? Not using genuine Mastodon software. Avoid ads and tracking. Use only genuine Mastodon software.
We've received disturbing reports that people are receiving phone calls asking if their Mastodon is genuine.
Be aware that the Mastodon Genuine Advantage center will never call you. Like, we don't even have a phone to do that with.

Do you have questions about why using genuine Mastodon software is important? Operators are standing by in DM. And, as they say, it always goes down in the DM.
One common theme amongst non-genuine Mastodon instances is to combine the platform with an Initial Coin Offering scam.
A notable example of this approach was Hiveway, you can read about that here: https://medium.com/we-distribute/hiveway-io-shamelessly-rips-off-of-mastodon-and-slaps-a-blockchain-on-top-for-some-reason-57b7aba3e84f
Avoid scams. Prefer genuine Mastodon software.
