Another reminder:

Mastodon isn't private. Yes, DMs and other things are less public than the public timeline, but never assume it is private ever.

If you have something sensitive to talk about use something actually private like Tox or XMPP with OTR or something like that.

@ajroach42 YES. I keep seeing people assuming that it isn't the case and it worries me.

Also I have seen people say they are going to stick with twitter because mastodon isn't private. That just confuses me.
