   ATTENTION EVERYONE WRINGING THEIR HANDS OVER “#MASTODON ADMINS CAN READ MY DIRECT MESSAGES”: #SysAdmins have *always* been able to read your #email and DMs unless encrypted, including at the big #SocialNetworks and Internet providers. We used to have t-shirts that said, “I READ YOUR EMAIL.”

   It’s just hitting now because you got used to places where the admins were kept away in their cubicles and data centers instead of greeting you at the front door.

     Oh, and #Slack, #Discord, #Steam, etc., all down the line too. Unless they have end-to-end #encryption where *you* and *only you* have the *only* private key, it’s not #private. No exceptions.
