Yes the admins can read your DMs thing is absolutely true on any platform w/o E2E encryption but the scale and structure of the fediverse does make it more feasible for a bad admin to read *all* the DMs on their server. Also there are no real consequences to doing so.
So I would stick to just exchanging alternative contact details by DM 🙂
Lazy me also has not checked to see if E2EE DMs are in the works for ActivityPub.
If anyone is interested I have a #drumnbass icecast station that generally runs 24/7 but might be down occasionally. Tends to be more on the liquid and vocal side of things but plenty of dancefloor stuff and a bit of neuro thrown in for good measure. Mostly 2018 and newer.

@the_gneech The tl;dr is basically that the local/fed timelines were never really intended to be used like a message board/chat room and runs counter to the goal of making everything "invisibly" decentralized.
But they're staying on the main interface because people use them for that msg board/chat room purpose and it'd be hostile to take that away.
