Maven, a new social network backed by OpenAI's Sam Altman, found itself in a controversy today when it imported a huge amount of posts and profiles from the Fediverse, and then ran AI analysis to alter the content.

What @delirious_owl@discuss.online seemed to be implying is that direct messages on Mastodon should be considered "public" rather than "private".

I'm assuming that's along the same lines of how Lemmy users generally think that their upvotes/downvotes are private when in reality, if you know how to look for them, you can see them.

I don't think we should expect privacy from either. Instead, we need better documentation.

Personally, I'd appreciate to see a public dashboard displaying everyone's DMs and upvotes would help.
