Briar Rose is a user on toot.cat. You can follow them or interact with them if you have an account anywhere in the fediverse. If you don't, you can sign up here.

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 Which is exactly the same risk model as IRC. Not sure why people are freaking out.

@kwanre I think a lot of users are learning about the threat model of adversarial admins on for the first time. Many people are not used to being able to choose servers to trust
