@chris@socialbc.ca @leanderlindahl@mastodon.social I hope someone hops into this thread with a magic solution. I am another one in this position - locked out of clubs or groups like the residents' association that communicate all but the most official formal things through a Facebook group. And even the official things are also shared on Facebook weeks or even months before formal notices are sent to members by mail. Most frustrating.

@mitradranirban@typo.social Thanks for the suggestion. The kind of group tool we're wishing for is a little different - it's a group that's private to allow sharing members-only information, a group that only named individual members can see. Like members of a resident's association or a sports team or similar. @chris@socialbc.ca @leanderlindahl@mastodon.social

@CiaraNi@mastodon.green @chris@socialbc.ca @leanderlindahl@mastodon.social as per @FediTips@social.growyourown.services private group is also possible, but that is not end to end encrypted https://fedi.tips/how-to-use-groups-on-the-fediverse/

Nothing is end-to-end encrypted on any social media platform. If you need to send sensitive data you should use secure messenger apps.

There are no tools in Mastodon to allow an admin to see people's private messages. However, in theory an admin might be able to find private messages by looking at the raw database of the server (but it would require technical knowledge).
