“Feature I would not use on Mastodon: direct messages. Administrators of the instance have access. How many regular Mastodon users realize this? Given the number of instances, all with different administrators, there’s no guarantee (ZERO) that they won’t be read.”

@JamesGosling That is good. I don't mind either, because what I publish is public domain 'cleared'. But being aware that different legal rules apply for Mastodon vs Twitter is good.
