We’re in an exciting time for users who want to take back control from major platforms like Twitter and Facebook. However, this new environment comes with challenges and risks for user privacy, so we need to get it right and make sure networks like the Fediverse and Bluesky are mindful of past...

    When you type up a DM on Mastodon, there’s a little popup notice that appears next to the text box that says:

    Posts on Mastodon are not end-to-end encrypted. Do not share any sensitive information over Mastodon.

    IMO the platform handles informing users about this responsibly.

      Exactly! Mastodon was not conceived to be a private sharing space.
