This! So very much this!
In today's world and how things are on the internet, there's no reason that every account we create on the internet isn't protected by some form of 2FA(Two-Factor Authentication).
There have been a deeply disappointing number of mastodon account takeovers in the past few weeks used to spam out malicious links in the guise of porn. I’m guessing most or all are abandon accounts, so the owner doesn’t even realize.
Please please please enable two factor authentication on your mastodon accounts regardless of which instance you are on or how sensitive or not you think the stuff you post is.
