re: Notes on privacy
None of the mods here have access to the database.
The 3rd party in charge of our infrastructure does have access to it, like they have access to the other 100s of instance they technically manage.
All of that to say that you can still have some expectation of privacy, but that privacy is nuanced by the need of efficient moderation tools.
If you need more robust, encrypted, alternative communication tool for DM like conversation, I would suggest you use signal
