@theking Not really. A DM between users on different servers is exposed to multiple instance operators. @fediverse

@arkiuat

@theking I‘ve only just begun to study the detailed ActivityPub spec, and I haven’t read the DM part yet. @fediverse

Its exposed to the admins of instances where the involved users are registered. For example if @sally@mastodon.social sends a dm to @nelly@example.com, only the admins of mastodon.social and example.com can access it.
