Sure. The same goes for email, Twitter, Telegram, Nextcloud and any other service that is not end-to-end encrypted per default. However, I see the least danger with Mastondon, since the discussions usually take place in public anyway.<p>And: I don&#x27;t know if this is only the case with the instance on which i am, but Mastodon is even transparent and displays the following hint when you want to send a PM.<p>&gt; Posts on Mastodon are not end-to-end encrypted. Do not share any sensitive information over Mastodon.

Why aren&#x27;t PMs encrypted by receiver public key?
