@DannyPage@joinmastodon People don’t want to accept this and are just riding the mastodon hype train, hope they do something about it, if ever. They (mastodon and lots of its users) seem to think it’s definitely okay for it to be that way
@TheToadKing @StreetDev2 @joinmastodon I'm not saying it's bad for mastodon to have access to its user's DMs at all, not talking about mastodon itself, I'm talking about instance admins. Not even saying it’s bad for instance admins to have access either, just asking for a disclaimer about the *instance admins*
@L0uisCouture @joinmastodon@signal And I do get your point, I feel like mastodon is a great option, and, why would anyone talk sensitive stuff over messenger/reddit/anything that’s not encrypted (Right?). I'm just saying, it would be nice for an easy to find disclaimer warning about this instance admins thing
@TheToadKing @StreetDev2 @joinmastodon I don’t think other social media have instance specific admins where they can read people's DMs but you do you. It's like reddit giving subreddit mod's access to its user's DMs
@L0uisCouture @joinmastodon@signal I think it’s more likely for an admin with a couple hundred users to dig through user's DMs than it is on Facebook/Reddit/Twitter where they have millions
And I do use signal, I don’t think that’s the point here, are you one of those “I have nothing to hide” folks? 🤨
@TheToadKing @StreetDev2 @joinmastodon I've already read it, lol, that’s why I mentioned “a disclaimer at the beginning of the terms would be more useful”
@L0uisCouture @joinmastodon I don’t think that’s good enough of an excuse to not clearly let people know their DMs could be read by any instance admin. I know same goes for websites like reddit but they aren’t using multiple instances where every single admin could dig through DMs at any moment
@RenwaX23@disclosedh1 If you actually read the submitted bug you can see it wasn’t in the search bar, plus, Google (which I think is what you mean with “security > privacy) actually had a XSS bug, in the actual search bar, back in 2018-2019 (https://t.co/iOuCYBPwi3)
