       NOTE TO NEW USERS: Mastodon's a cool place, but it's private like a local coffee shop, not a home bathroom.Remember that the admin of your instance can see EVERYTHING you post, including direct posts. They can even disable 2 factor authentication, if you have it enabled (and you should. No really, enable that stuff now.)Bottom line: Find an instance where you feel you can trust your admin, and don't send direct toots unless you trust the admin at the recipient's instance as well.

       @theartguy And in all likelihood both instances will be hosted in the cloud so that's two more orgs you need to trust.

       yup especially media, which goes into a public CDN only obfuscated by a somewhat randomized URL, if you don't want your nudes to leak don't post them, even in DMs! mastodon isn't unsafe, but it's not totally private, at all. only end to end encryption can get you that and that's just not a thing at the moment.@theartguy

       @theartguy honestly direct toots are only to be used as a way to send a series of messages without cluttering the main feed, use encryption if you want privacy.

       @theartguyIt's important to note that Twitter, tumblr etc could also read your dms. No matter what site you are on you should be cautious what you dm.

       @Vopo @theartguy & at least here you're a /lot/ less likely to have some impersonal ai trolling it for marketting data, sentiment analysis, and negative mood event detection.
