Hasn't DMs always been unencrypted in Mastodon servers? 

 I’m sure @Alex Gleason 🐍 knows. 

 Did you read all the feminist dms @Alex Gleason 🐍 ? 😂 

 The mastadon admin has access to everything, pretty sure.

 If this is what I think, the dude had plaintext database backups at his house. They seized those. And DMs weren't encrypted last time I looked at it. Gleason knows for sure. 

 mastodon has no concept of encrypting user data at all, all user's data is stored unencrypted (including DMs) and accessible to anyone with direct database access on the server
