Private posts are not encrypted. Make sure you trust your instance admin not to just read your private posts on the back-end.

If someone you follow makes a private toot, it will appear in your timeline with a padlock icon in place of the Boost icon. **NOTE** that remote instances may not respect this. -**Direct** messages are only visible to users you have @mentioned in them.
