A community dedicated to fediverse news and discussion.
Fediverse is a portmanteau of "federation" and "universe".
Getting started on Fediverse;
They're called DMs not PMs
PM never implied any form of end to end encryption. It only ever meant people couldn't see it apart from site operators. I genuinely don't believe people thought it meant otherwise.
But on a federated system, everyone can see all messages. That's expected.
No, should just be your instance admin and the admin of the instance your messaging.
? Did you mean that the other way around? And if you did... forgive me, I don't really use Mastodon. I was never much of a twitter fan. I don't really like how all of my likes are public (although I guess I have had to get used to that with Lemmy).
No. They're direct. They're not private.
Ah, I see. So it's the same mistake that Lemmy users make when thinking that Upvotes/Downvotes aren't public.
It sounds like DMs on Mastodon are public, but are commonly mistaken to be private then?
I don't know why anyone would think any of this stuff is private. It can be pseudonyms, but that's up to you.
