IMPORTANT!!
Peeps, pls remember dat on Mastodon even *DMs n private toots* are visible to d Instance's Admins
Pls exercise caution while sharing private info/pix etc over DMs here...
@Memeghnad @Deepsealioness @dearthofsid
@discoursehacker pls Boost n spread d word
@Lord_VoldeMaut @Memeghnad @Deepsealioness @dearthofsid just like dms are readable for twitter admins as well. They also do not have e2e encryption
@Lord_VoldeMaut
Use an end to end encrypted messaging app like https://riot.im for private communication. #matrix #riot It is also decentralized and Free Software powered like #Mastodon #FreeSoftware
@praveen @Memeghnad @Deepsealioness @dearthofsid Thx for d heads-up 👍🙂
@Lord_VoldeMaut @Memeghnad @Deepsealioness @dearthofsid And you thought birdsite couldn't? 😏
@stux @Memeghnad @Deepsealioness @dearthofsid
Thx for confirming dat!!
The Medium article I quoted must've gotten it wrong 😅💁♂️
Btw, are DMs not visible to mods in ALL instances, or is it specific to mstdn.social only??
@Lord_VoldeMaut @Memeghnad @dearthofsid delete this, this has been clarified
@Lord_VoldeMaut @Memeghnad @Deepsealioness @dearthofsid
Gotta use other apps like Signal or Telegram for direct messages, then
@indiantoolmaker @Lord_VoldeMaut @Memeghnad @Deepsealioness @dearthofsid No. The systems admin denied this.
@Ruminess @indiantoolmaker @Memeghnad @Deepsealioness @dearthofsid
Did @/stux@mstdn.social confirm dis??
@Ruminess @indiantoolmaker @Memeghnad @Deepsealioness @dearthofsid
🔸Ok so here's d catch, u shared d policy page for the 'mstdn.social' instance, n therefore doesn't cover those of us in the 'mastadon.social' instance
🔸@/stux@mstdn.social (admin for mstdn) confirmed yday itself dat his instance's (mstdn.social) mods don't hv access to their users' DMs
🔸But now @Gargron needs to confirm what d privacy policies for our instance (mastadon.social) are 😐🤷♂️
Does dis explain it??
@Lord_VoldeMaut @Ruminess @indiantoolmaker @Memeghnad @Deepsealioness @dearthofsid Mods/admins don’t have access to DMs from the Mastodon interface but database owner can retrieve them (root access). This is outlined in our privacy policy
@Gargron @Lord_VoldeMaut @Ruminess @indiantoolmaker @Memeghnad @Deepsealioness @dearthofsid Thank you Eugen@Gargron for providing this platform, I have had enough of toxic twitter and was seriously considering to shut all social media off, I hope you can keep this hate free.
@Gargron Can we see encrypted dms anytime in future?
@Lord_VoldeMaut
Oh yes. Very important. It applies to basically all social networks, those that don't allow p2p communications.
