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

    They are not secure, as it states when you try to DM someone:

    This is the same as any other DM service on any site that isn’t end-to-end encrypted, which are the majority. Nothing sensitive should ever be shared via DM.

    As far as I know, they’re readable by admins. So at least right now, if you want to use Lemmy for private communications, you have to do it manually with something like GPG. Hopefully e2e encryption on DMs gets implemented at some point.
