As a Fediverse user, we strongly encourage you to develop your own operations security (opsec) plan and evaluate your personal risk profile. If you’re not sure how to do this, we’ll follow up with a post/blog with reading material so you can think through and improve your online defense posture.
Finally, you are welcome to share this document and engage others in the conversation; you don’t have to have a Hachyderm account. As we begin executing on the plan, one key tenet is to share as much as we can so others can prepare their corners of the Fediverse.
Hachyderm operates primarily out of the EU. We will reduce our exposure to US-based companies and continue to place key infrastructure in the EU.
