Another friendly reminder:
Mastodon is awesome, but mastodon isn't an appropriate tool if you want private communications. DMs aren't actually private, they can be seen by instance admins and maybe by other people, it isn't at all secure.
Mastodon and GNU social aren't made for private conversations, if you want to have a private conversation there are many tools that are appropriate for that.
I suggest Tox, but Cryptocat and XMPP with OTR are also good. There are others but I have used those
@inmysocks @jz is it really in the decentralisation concept DNA anyway?
@inmysocks @jz what I meant is that, in terms of ideas, is including DMs really thinking forward the decentralization concept (to its top scale)?
I see decentralization more like something that challenge us to disconnect from the one-app-only standard to a multi-apps/platforms use.
@gregoiremarty @jz you can have privacy and security in a decentralised system, and in a federated one. It is just that the social aspect of mastodon and gnu social was created without much thought for the privacy aspects.
