Friendly reminder that even if you trust your admin, direct messages can be read by them. Private communications should be done via tools designed for this.

Friendly reminder : même si vous faites confiance a votre admin, il peut lire vos messages privés (DM). Les communications privées devraient se faire grace a des outils pensés pour ça.
@0xroy Would you like to share some examples of tools directed only for private communication? Ta!
@0xroy Indeed, and such an important question indeed! We definitely need to talk about the tools for private communication more, more and more to make them a part of everyone's daily lives.
@0xroy chais bien, je rajoute de l'eau a ton moulin
@0xroy I would recommend Wire https://wire.com/
@0xroy Interesting group of friends you have :smile:
@0xroy I didn't realise mastodon even had direct messages (or is it that only certain instances have them?)
@0xroy Genre du chiffrement e2e 😉
@0xroy Eve, a rogue instance admin, can fake a self-undermining Toot from @You, fake a boost of this Toot on her rogue instance by innocent user @Doe@rogue.instance, then pretend that You deleted the original self-undermining toot.
Defending yourself: You could sign cryptographically all yours toots.
Les admin des autres instances peuvent crediblement vous attribuer tout propos.
Parade possible: signez cryptographiquement tous vos pouets.
@0xroy un toot effacé n'est plus dispo sur l'instance d'origine.
@0xroy Now, replace "self-undermining" by "self-incriminating." How do you feel?
@0xroy But also your email provider can read your emails. Facebook can read your messages, etc.
IF you want to communicate in private, use encryption.
@0xroy DMs are a thing?
