DO you think that encrypting DMs or content in general on a social media platform is maybe beyond the scope of the platform to begin with?
If secure discourse is what you seek then a public meeting ground is most likely not the best place to look to begin with.
That being said, I did not know that librem.one mastodon instance disabled DMs. I have DM’d a number of Librem.one users, and always wondered why I NEVER got a response from any of them.
That’s fine however. Purism’s policy supports my argument above (although I would argue that social media should not be encrypted at all), but I would think that some kind of notice or disclaimer could be placed on Librem.one accounts.
Using Mastodon should require adherence to its feature set otherwise. This is why standards are created.
However, I disagree that this is a reason to leave librem.one. Purism’s stance on moderation is bold and brave today. I 100% support it.
