People on FOSDEM: please discuss why the Mastodon software does not encrypt your user data and why it does not support end to end encryption for private messages. We need to stop using a software that is basically a re-creation of Email of the 90s before the Fediverse will experience its first "endless November" event. We can not establish a system that has such major privacy flaws and let the masses flock into this kind of unsecure infrastructure!
I dedicate this account to the issue of fediverse privacy.
Unfortunately we are seeing a widespread use of software as an alternative to corporate networks that does not encrypt private messages and user data.
Mastodon makes it very easy to sniff on users and should be rejected by a community of people with many having a professional background in programming and security.
As I already received a lot of harassment for pointing out facts I prefer to stay private.
