technical note about this tech as I see some confusion/misconceptions:
Admins of your instance have complete control over your account. Really, we can read all the posts (including DMs) and we can even impersonate/hack your account with ease.
Make sure you trust your admins.
Here on toot.cat we have a CoC that applies to both admins and non admins. Admins are expected to abide by the CoC and not oppress users as well.
@polymerwitch Shit I don't know if I can trust @chr Can I trust you dude?
@polymerwitch @chr I was mostly joking. Although I think it is important to take this topic seriously. I personaly like that you want to keep this instance small, I think it is the right approach. Everyone is probably out to make it a good place, so just shout if you need help and we'll do our best. Keep up the good work mate.
@bksmgglr @polymerwitch i haven't put forth any explicit policies on the matter but i place myself under the same restrictions i would anyone else on the server. the only content i read is public content / in my feed and DMs addressed to me directly.
