If you use the most formal grammar taught to beginners, then every single language can be broken down this way -- and this is nothing special to Japanese. Unfortunately this sort of nice structure tends to melt away as you transition to more "natural" ways of talking / writing, even in formal contexts. Even things like the -ka suffix (as mentioned in another comment) is really often just not a thing in normal speaking.

And no, Japanese isn't free from conjugations. It simply conjugates in a different way compared to what European languages tend to do. And the use of suffixes and forming "verb chains" is also core to how the language's grammar works.

The correct way to phrase this should be

people that think VPNs alone will protect them are naive

Hetzner as always :) Although you probably want to separate out media storage to a standalone S3 provider or even just Hetzner's SMB storage box

Mastodon is the "corporate-oriented" Fediverse implementation. It is unfortunate, but Gargron has done a great job in marketing his own project to all sorts of commercial organizations. Other Fediverse software implementations are mostly targeted towards hobbyist (and non-"mainstream") communities and personal uses, which makes them less "appealing" to corporations (Mozilla is one of them, however they would like to claim otherwise).

Just look at the recent Mastodon updates, especially 4.0 and the ones leading up to 4.0. All of them are trying to make Mastodon more Twitter like and more uniform (so that instances are less distinguishable from each other). That is Gargron's way of marketing, and he has succeeded in doing so. I as a long-time Fediverse user absolutely hate all of this development, but that is the unfortunate side effect of wanting to go mainstream.
