You know instance admins can read your direct messages in the fediverse? Twitter and Facebook also can - and sometimes do - read your private messages, and they have infrastructure to comply with law enforcement requests. I'd love to see some end-to-end encryption built into Mastodon clients.
Golly. Does checking that out make me. 'TechBro'? Or 'Infosec Twitter'? Heh. Maybe it does. :-)
I'm pleased to say it seems Mastodon or Amaroq strips GPS/location data out of pix uploaded as posts.

How entertaining that this services uses stars for favourites instead of hearts.
