> hosted a Mastodon server on the domain
Mastodon is often used to distribute illegal content. If you self host you need to be ready to deal with this stuff. Like with self hosted SMTP server.
Not saying it is good or bad, just reality!

I'd agree with you if it had thousands of users, but not when the user count is 8. If you have 8 users on your SMTP server, damn easy to know with certainty if any of them did anything that might be considered malicious.
Mastodon, perhaps unwisely, replicates all media it encounters.
Again, it's eight users, one of which has full control over the database plus an approximate timestamp when something went wrong.
Super easy to check every outbound click, every post published, every post received... Everything.

So is google drive.
Is illegal content relevant to phishing warnings?
