Not that I DMd people, but I don't think I knew that, so that's good to know.

But also don't mistake a not for profit as not being able to do something to aquire money to help pay for itself or the salaries of it's people. They could absolutely be looking for ways to monetize this to a certain extent. A not for profit is not a charity.

Image of private messaging within Lemmy showing that the messages are not secure

I'd recommend Signal for truly private messaging. I've heard things about Matrix, and the warning mentions Element.io, nether of which I'm personally familiar with.

Oh, well that's a great warning. Glad they put that there.

And ya I already use signal.
