Just a reminder that nothing on the Fediverse is private. Because of the distributed nature, anyone with an instance can scrape everything you’ve ever posted and this is working as intended.
Direct messages are readable to whoever is hosting your instance and the instance of the person you send them to.
Be careful what you share on the Fediverse and be careful what you share when setting up an account
