I just read this post https://lemmy.world/post/1041399 And I wonder if messages here are end to end encrypted, or readable by admins or semi- public like voting? Thanks

    I guess everything we say and do here is meant to be public, not unlike posting to a blog, or commenting on one.

    One potential issue I can think of is that malicious instance owners can impersonate you, and post posts and comments as you - but I hope that this would be quickly discovered and the instance defederated.

    Basically, I think at this point you can’t full trust without a doubt that a persona wrote every message their account is linked to (short of gpg signing every message).

    Hoping that someone more informed on the inner workings of Lemmy can correct me on this.
