Is Mastodon down right now?

mastodon.social — live status, response speed and SSL.

Is it down for everyone or just you?

The check above runs from our servers, not your device. If it says mastodon.social is responding but the site won't load for you, the problem is local. Restart your router, try your phone's data instead of wi-fi, clear your DNS cache, and switch off browser extensions one at a time.

Using Mastodon safely

Social platforms themselves are legitimate. The risk is other users: impersonation accounts, fake giveaways, and messages pushing you to a payment app.
