    Unless I run a Lemmy instance myself (which is possible), I have zero reason to trust an instance’s admins.

    Even if my instance’s admin happens to be the founder of privacyguides.org, that doesn’t mean he will never read any “private” messages (or be forced by someone else to hand them over).

        Even if I did fully trust my instance, I also would have to trust any instance I message with.

        I personally just use Lemmy for public comments.
