@theking @fediverse DMs aren't encrypted. They're basically just posts with a very small audience. Your instance admins can see them, and anyone mentioned in them can see them.
Afaik DMs on Twitter are also not encrypted, so moderators or other employees can view them. So the number of people who can view your DMs on Twitter is probably much higher (hundreds of employees) compared to Mastodon (a couple of server admins).
