Rules
- Any drama must be posted as an observer, you cannot post drama that you are involved with.
- When posting screenshots of drama, you must obscure the identity of all the participants.
- The poster must have a credible post and comment history before submitting a piece of history. This is to avoid sock-puppetry and witch hunts.
The usual instance-wide rules also apply.
Chronicle the life and tale of the fediverse (+ matrix)
Largely a sublemmy about capturing drama, from fediverse spanning drama to just lemmy drama.
Includes lore like how a instance got it's name, how an instance got defederated, how an admin got doxxed, fedihistory etc
(New) This sub's intentions is to an archive/newspaper, as in preferably don't get into fights with each other or the ppl featured in the drama

MODERATORS
Lemmy DMs can be private, if all the people who have the ability to look at them all agree not to. That’s not how it works, so Lemmy does the right thing and warns you that they are not private.
Privacy systems that depend on broadcasting information and then requesting that everyone who isn’t supposed to receive it should not pay attention are fine, for some things, but they are not good privacy systems.
The same can be said about email, which is arguably private.
The privacy warning is because instance admins can see dms, not because random servers can.
Email is not private. I think we're running into a difference of definitions.
Stuff that random unauthorized people can read if they want to, even if the number of people is small, is not private. To me. Other people might have different definitions, but that's the one I am using when I say "private."
I agree, like you said in an earlier comment, they should be encrypted.
