cyberpunk.lol is a small independent Mastodon instance launched in 2023, focused on providing a decentralized social media platform with a cyberpunk cultural theme. It operates as part of the CYBERSYNDICATE community and is hosted by fedi.monster. The platform emphasizes community moderation, inclusivity, and content warnings, targeting Mastodon users interested in cyberpunk and alternative social networking. Technically, the site uses a Glitch-soc fork of Mastodon with React and JavaScript, delivering a moderate performance and good mobile optimization. Security posture is solid with HTTPS and no exposed sensitive data, though it lacks some advanced security headers and formal policies. Privacy compliance is basic, with a privacy policy present but no cookie consent mechanism. Overall, the site is trustworthy and professionally presented, with a clear code of conduct and active moderation team.

This scan rated NIS2 with an earlier keyword method that is no longer shown; rescan for the per-article view. Risk management, continuity, supply chain, training, MFA, management oversight (Art. 20) and incident reporting (Art. 23) need internal evidence, and Guard cannot tell whether NIS2 applies to this organisation.

GDPR is indicative only, based on publicly visible signals: Articles 7, 12, 13 and 32 of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 and Article 5(3) of the ePrivacy Directive. Not a certification or legal assessment.

Results by check

Each check with its score, findings and the evidence it collected.

How this score is calculated

The security score runs 0–100, higher is better. It is the plain average of the security checks that completed in this scan, each counted equally. A check that could not run is left out: it counts neither as a pass nor as a fail.

Not counted

  • NIS2 outside view: Re-weights evidence from the TLS, email, DNS, network and hygiene checks, so counting it would count that evidence twice. Shown on its own.
  • OffSeq Observations: An AI reading of the site, useful context but not reproducible evidence. Shown on its own.

Findings that cap the score at 49

Each of these is serious on its own, so while any is present the site cannot rate better than high risk, however good the other checks are.

  • The certificate is not trusted by browsers
  • The website is not served over HTTPS
  • A database, remote desktop, file-sharing or Telnet service is reachable from the internet
  • The page loads a script from a compromised source
  • The domain registration has expired
  • SPF authorises every server to send mail as the domain

Partial scans

When the site blocks Guard or most checks cannot run, the score covers only the checks that ran (usually DNS and email), is capped at 75 and is shown as partial, without a risk level.

Technical appendix

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.

Business context

Business profile

The instance positions itself as a niche community within the fediverse, leveraging open source Mastodon technology to provide decentralized social networking. Its business model relies on community support and donations rather than commercial advertising. The presence of a clear code of conduct and active moderation indicates a focus on user safety and community standards. Partnerships with CYBERSYNDICATE and hosting by fedi.monster strengthen its ecosystem ties. The target audience is adults interested in cyberpunk culture and alternative social media. Growth potential depends on community engagement and reputation within the fediverse.

Security posture

The security maturity level is moderate to good. The site enforces HTTPS with excellent SSL configuration and maintains no visible vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data. However, it lacks explicit security headers such as Content Security Policy and HSTS, and does not publish a security policy or incident response plan. There is no vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file. The moderation policies and content warnings contribute positively to content safety. Compliance gaps include absence of cookie consent and limited GDPR indicators. Incident response readiness and security culture could be improved by publishing formal policies and contact channels.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce security headers including CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Add a cookie consent mechanism to comply with privacy regulations and improve user transparency.
  3. Publish a formal security policy and incident response plan accessible on the website.
  4. Create and maintain a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and SEO optimization to improve user experience and discoverability.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern open source Mastodon fork (Glitch-soc) using React and JavaScript, hosted on a specialized Mastodon hosting provider (fedi.monster). The infrastructure supports decentralized social networking with good mobile responsiveness and moderate performance. The site uses multiple favicon sizes and includes a manifest for progressive web app capabilities. No major technical debt or deprecated technologies were detected. Opportunities exist to improve SEO, accessibility, and security header implementation. The absence of analytics and tracking scripts indicates a privacy-conscious technical approach.
Standards and sources

Reference chips under each finding point to the standard, regulation or specification the finding relates to. They are taken from the official datasets below and mapped conservatively: a finding with no defensible link shows none. NIS2 and GDPR references mark where a finding is relevant evidence, not a compliance verdict. Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690 binds digital infrastructure and digital service providers; for other entities it is the most detailed public reading of the Article 21 measures. WCAG, EN 301 549, European Accessibility Act and Web Accessibility Directive references name the requirement an automated accessibility rule relates to; they are not a conformance verdict.
