The Fediverse is public and can be archived by bots and AIs for years. The Quiet Public and Followers-only privacy settings keep your account timeline tidy but won't help privacy. All "@"-only messages are stored unencrypted.
Mastodon is privacy-aware but fraudsters, hackers and adversaries can still study and use your posts against you.
FOSS does not imply private or safe to use. Never share sensible content on a Fediverse server!
