If you’re using Mastodon through your server’s website or the web app, you can optionally have it ask you for confirmation before deleting or boosting a post:

1. Log in through your server’s website or web app
2. Click on ⚙️ Preferences
3. Scroll down to the section marked Confirmation dialogues
4. Tick the boxes for the things you want Mastodon to ask confirmation for
5. Click Save Changes at the bottom of the screen

What if I’m using an app?

Mobile apps usually have similar settings available, often with even more options, but it will vary from app to app. Click on your app’s settings page (often indicated by a ⚙️ symbol) to see what options your particular app has.
