    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.
