Who can read DMs? A diagram shows Alice sending a DM to Bob through Bluesky. Alice and Bob can read the DM. Bluesky can read the DM, but access is carefully controlled, including for moderators. Eve (an outsider) cant read the DMs
DMs on Bluesky will not be "end-to-end encrypted" until we are able to do some more protocol work.
We have very careful access controls within our systems.

We reached 1,000,000 users!
