I want to increase security of the account by enabling 2-factor authentication, but I cannot find that option.
This option does not (yet?) exist there.

Thank you Vivaldi for setting up and running your own Mastodon server.
This takes the pressure off the currently overflowing Mastodon and fits very well with Vivaldi.
Very lots of new participants there.
I would not have thought soo. -
@Artex Matrix doesn’t equal Mastodon. You’re missing the point. The instance has 11k active users now, I doubt it was for nothing. This is great advertisement and engagement with a community. No one forces you to use it however, I’m not too keen on social media myself. Just ignore it.

Gab', the ultra-right network from the USA, runs a Mastodon server. Mastodon is free, open source software, anyone can install it on a server.
Gab's Mastodon is blocked by almost all other Mastodon instances in the world.
This means that almost no other Mastodon server federated with Gab-Mastodon.
Trump also runs a Mastodon server.I guess totally free-speech is viewed as "ultra-right" these days ...
Vivaldi Social would do itself a favor if they heeded the words here of this wise pastor:

@treego , no, the extreme right uses the expression censored free speech, when they are criticized for hate speech and homophobic, xenophobic and sexist discrimination.
It's not the same. -

It's not the same.GAB is simply Facebook except for the fact that GAB takes the First Amendment to the United States Constitution seriously.
I prefer to do social media on such a site where freedom reigns.
-
@treego , yes, that is what they say, because of this it's used by all kind of people banned in any other site.
Not so good for creating a healthy community of users all arround the globe, with different culture, colors, religions and sexual conditions. -

Not so good for creating a healthy community of users all arround the globe, with different culture, colors, religions and sexual conditions.Gab is a very healthy community … people yearn to be free everywhere … it is my favorite place to post on anything…religion, politics, etc. My 1st Ammendment rights are wonderful on Gab.
I wish it were so on Vivaldi Social.

In Mastodon, Bot attack is coming...

I wish it were so on Vivaldi Social.Vivaldi Social is international and not forced to follow USA's constitution and its rights.
Iceland is where the Mastodon server is hosted.
Please check Icelands laws and you know, what you are allowed to do. -

Please check Icelands laws and you know, what you are allowed to do.My thoughts entirely... a USA citizen complaining - when outside of the USA sphere - that most of the world is somehow wrong because we have different (IMO higher) standards.

@mossman That is always problem when people live in their cultural bubble and think their constitutional rights and their group or people are the best of the world.

@treego No religious promotion, please!
You should respect the Code of Conduct of our community. -

You should respect the Code of Conduct of our community.You and others are commenting on GAB, and I thought you and others should have the record set straight about GAB -- that's all.

@treego I commented about your whish to have unrestricted speech here, not more. Do not tell falsefacts.
-
@treego I don’t see the problem. You have found a platform where you can post and share the ideas and topics dear to your heart, GAB. The new twitter 2.0 seems to be right up your alley too. You don’t need Vivaldi Social or Mastodon. You are obviously welcome to post about and discuss the browser itself here, but there is no way you could ever hope to change the rules and community guidelines Vivaldi values. Use the services as they are presented to you, nothing more is being asked of you.

I don’t care about free speech here in this forum … I was hoping for free speech on Vivaldi Social like there is on Gab — even Twitter and Facebook allow more freedom of thought to be posted than Vivaldi Social I discovered very quickly.
You came into this discussion and Gab was part of the discussion at the time.

Fair Enough!
I know where Vivaldi stands now … and you hopefully understand more about my hopes that Vivaldi Social would be more free-wheeling like GAB and Twitter 2.0.

Where Vivaldi stands is this: Promoting "happy, kind and constructive" community. These are values built in to the vivaldi.net community, and they are also values built in to the Vivaldi Mastodon instance. This naturally means that dishonest/untrue, angry, unkind, and/or hostile (to, literally, anyone) commentary will be unwelcome in both the vivaldi.net community and the Vivaldi Mastodon instance. This is both expected and entirely unsurprising.
