This is good #UX and I encourage the devs of all fediverse apps to do the same, at least until they find a way to federate E2EE private messaging (eg XMPP/OMEMO? matrix?)> When you are about to message another user in Mastodon’s web interface, it warns, "Posts on Mastodon are not end-to-end encrypted. Do not share any sensitive information over Mastodon."#JonKeegan, #RachelAuslander, #DanPhiffer, and #MariaPuertashttps://themarkup.org/the-breakdown/2022/11/21/we-joined-mastodon-heres-what-we-learned-about-privacy-and-security#E2EE #XMPP #OMEMO #matrix

"Finally, we decided to avoid communicating any sensitive information—like responding to tips—via the platform. Without end-to-end encryption, it doesn’t make sense to use Mastodon for tips, and we’ll continue to direct people to all the other ways they can share tips with us."Very sensible @themarkup .But something about your discussion of Direct posts in this article gives me the impression some journalists have used Titter DMs for private communication with sources. Is this a thing? 😯

Dell Cameron put it succinctly here:> while Twitter’s setup seems aimed at convincing people that their DMs are private, that’s obviously not the case. A few weeks ago, an exorbitantly rich man bought access to every DM on that app. He’s free to read them at his own leisure. Those messages don’t belong to you. They belong to him and whoever he chooses to share them with.https://gizmodo.com/mastodon-how-to-dm-send-messages-twitter-1849759852@themarkup @drwho @blaise @davidgarywood @64

Oh dear. I hope all journalists are now deleting all their Titter DMs, while understanding that this probably doesn't remove them completely, it just makes them a bit harder to find (would agree with this @drwho?)@themarkup
