Billy's Mom, an privacy-focused instance hosted by Billy (not his mom).

Privacy

All social media platforms require some data storage, and Mastodon is no exception. However, with more people switching to Mastodon from Twitter, it's important to note some of the privacy concerns. The main concern is that private messages are stored. This is necessary to enable conversations, but it's important to recognize that the operators of the server, as well as any receiving server, may be able to view such messages. Additionally, recipients may screenshot, copy or otherwise share them.

As Mastodon's privacy policy indicates, there are some instances where privacy may be compromised. Some media outlets have used this as an argument against Mastodon, but the level of privacy depends on the instance you use. At billys.mom, we take privacy seriously and only read personal messages if they are reported by a user or if law enforcement issues a reasonable notice.

Can I trust billys.mom?

As with any Mastodon instance, we cannot guarantee 100% privacy. You should always be cautious about what you share on any website. However, we are committed to privacy and will not engage in voluntary surveillance programs. Moreover, governments cannot legally force services to implement blanket spying programs.

If you want to ensure a higher level of privacy, use PGP.
