That is why I keep a personal journal. Sometimes I will feel compelled to write a reply, and the decide it is not worth it. I stash it in my personal journal so at least it feels like I expressed myself.

That is scary. So, basically, it can steal all our password, or bank account routing information, or any other sensitive data that is shown on the screen.

@Evan Prodromou Invading Canada would be less popular than the Vietnam war.

@Evan Prodromou
about a quarter of Americans think annexation is a good idea.

But only "Five per cent of Americans favour bringing Canada into the union militarily, according to Tuesday's Angus Reid poll."

@Kevin Karhan :verified: But if you have a fediverse account on someone else's server, the encryption takes place on their server, especially if you are using a web-based client.

You can get around that by self-hosting your own fediverse server, or having the equivalent of a email client app on your phone or computer. That way encryption does not happen on the server, but instead on your local device.

OFC that is a constant struggle.
Needless to say all #Fediverse Software like #Mastodon actually tells people: 'Hey, #DMs are not private nor encrypted beyond #SSL - #Admins can read them if they actually want to!'
It's the same with an email server. System administrators have more power than people think. I guess that's why their password is "god."
