I wanted give a try to kbin.social but not sure how private is the instance, the interface looks really nice but im worried about its privacy and how private is compared with Lemmy?

    Nothing on the fediverse is truly private. Treat everything you say as public and as permanent.

      Nothing on the fediverse internet is truly private.

      even on reddit, all comments you made could’ve (and were) archived, the deletion issue which exists on federated services is nothing new

      What do you mean? Are private messages viewable by other users? Or other fediverse admins (that can also be everybody with a computer and a internet connection)

        They are potentially viewable by admins since they’re not encrypted end to end and are stored in the database. It’s why there’s a warning message when you try to send someone a DM.
