Backup Mastodon
Middle-click the gear icon in the upper left of your screen, which will pop a new tab, so you won't lose your place.

To the right of where it reads 'Follows' in the resulting table, click on the link named 'CSV' and let it download to your default download folder.
Optionally, you may also download your Lists, Blocks, Mutes, Domain blocks or Bookmarks, otherwise you are done already. Close the tab happy in the knowledge that you are backed up! :-)
It's also possible to download your entire archive, including media using the button 'Request Your Archive' at the bottom of the screen - it may take some hours to create the archive for you is all.
