  • There’s also a limited federation mode that server admins can use. Users and posts are still searchable, but they do not show on the public federated feed.
    Useful for this exact case where a server may have beneficial accounts, but the rest should be hidden for moderation reasons.

    Still would prefer it being on a proper mastodon server, but I can live with this. Whatever server ends up hosting a President’s account now has to deal with record preservation laws for their posts. Let’s leave that bureaucratic stuff to threads.


  • Fedora Linux also comes with SELinux enabled by default. Did you check that the new home folder and all its contents have the proper SELinux tags?
    Run an ls -lZ and check that the directory has the user_home_t tag,
    The user’s home directory is also stored in the /etc/passwd file. Did you update the entry there?

    No, do not “disable SELinux”. That advice hasn’t been valid for a good 20 years. You can set it to permissive though, to see if it’s the source of the problem.
