Another reminder, since we got a lot of new people!

Please assume all messages you send on any mastodon instance are not private. While we have no interest in reading your private messages, they are not encrypted in sending or receiving instances, and we cannot guarantee your privacy, especially when they cross instance boundaries.

If you have something private and sensitive to say, take it to another, more privacy-oriented system.

Thank you and happy tooting!

@Taniwha this is good to know. I was assuming since it was decentralized that my information would be more secure.

@MarkCodesTheWeb It was also the case on Twitter, even if your profile was set to private, the people who worked at Twitter could still read your DMs, there was no privacy at all. The difference here is that the admins of the various instances don't hide it and are honest about it.
