Before joining Mastodon I remember reading about how instance owners could potentially have access to their user’s chats and messages. I don’t think I ever saw this about Lemmy, or at least never looked into that much. Is that also the case here? How much info is accessible by the owners here?

That said I love the service and am happy to be here lol

also to keep in mind, accessing private messages on any website - unless end to end encrypted and verifiable - assume is possible by whoever is running the website. Twitter DMs, Tumbler DMs, any random forum, Reddit. All can access your “private” messages. Fediverse seems to be the only place that actually warns the user of this
