i am #looking for #slimes and #demons to #breed a #SlimeKnight in #DragonQuest #Monsters1. so, anyone in the #Georgia #Savannah area with a #GameBoy #LinkCable please #FeelFree to #DirectMessage me #directly

burada dm yok ne is???? #directmessage

Forever scaring myself after I've sent a direct message on here because it appears on my home timeline and just blends in with everything else.

Sure would be nice to have that a bit more separated.

#Mastodon #DirectMessage

Hey Fediverse, I've seen a lot of people make references to DMs here , as in "DM me to talk about this topic ."
I assume that means direct message. But I don't see any sort of capability to do that anywhere! I can start a message by @'ing someone and they see it and reply usually, but it's just a normal toot.
So, what's wrong with me? What am I missing? Is it just my instance that lacks direct private messages?

I just realized private messaging or mentions is not fully implemented in @ivory. No easy way to check all messages from everyone and conversations are not grouped.

On a larger issue, direct messaging as a whole seems broken in Mastodon, at least in my case. They appear in notifications but not in direct messages tab, not even on the web client.

#DirectMessage #PrivateMessage

#ServiceToot A direct message on a computer (browser) shows a triangle (square cut on the diagonal) behind the photo of the person you are communicating with. Unsure how that's perceived by a screenreader.
You can see your own DMs in your own profile, which can be unnerving so you think your DM is not private. It is. Just tested with a friend.
Sent a DM to Person A.
Asked Person B if they could see it on my profile. They couldn't, and they do know Person A. #DirectMessage #FediTip

Oh! DMs do exist!

How to Send Direct Messages on Mastodon

@Marcociappelli Also something like, “Having left Twitter because it sucks, when you encounter a function here that doesn’t work like Twitter, maybe hold off for a bit before explaining how Mastodon would be better if that function worked exactly like Twitter.” #QuoteTweet #alttext #contentwarning #directmessage

Posts on Mastodon are not end-to-end encrypted. Do not share any sensitive information over Mastodon.

Apparently, this is one way Twitter and Mastodon differ. Messages are not by default private, something like that.

Wait one cannot send a #DirectMessage to oneself?

Just sent my first #DirectMessage in Mastodon.

While I appreciate the up-front warning about how such messages are not secure and you shouldn’t send sensitive information in them, I’m agog at the implication that people treat #Twitter and #Facebook messages as secure. Because I totally did not trust those companies not to read or leak my DMs, even before Space Putin took over.

Heck, I’m reluctant to send sensitive info over #iMessage, and I have a high level of trust in its security.

This is so gross.

Is there a #dm #DirectMessage function on here that I’ve missed? @edibuddies - it would be good to message people about work / project recommendations, but it’s not something I necessarily want to do publicly. What are people doing about this?

#DirectMessage with #Privacy is not what #Mastodon is designed for. So rather than complaining about reality, take a look at the very secure #MatrixProtocol. Find me here at @dunlit:matrix.org

Mi sembra interessante farvi presente di questa cosa, in quanto professionista della privacy

Ah oui par rapport à « les #admins d'instances Mastodon ont accès aux messages privés » :
Oui mais faut vraiment le vouloir, y'a pas un bouton « espionner les messages privés de cette personne ». Faut fouiller les bases de données, et moi par exemple, je sais pas faire ça. #DM #DirectMessage #Mastodon

Was looking for direct messaging on #Mastodon app.

Just in case you are also new here, see picture attached to have message options:

#directmessage usage of 1 @
#groupmessage usage of multiple @

#messagetopublic

Have a great weekend.

Wie geht eine #Direktnachricht #directmessage an eine Person auf Mastodon? Reicht es das @-Zeichen davor zu setzen und den NutzerNamen dahinter? Ist das dann ganz privat oder liest jemand mitm Muss es dann der Name incl. Instanz sein oder erreiche ich Nutzer außerhalb meiner Instanz gar nicht?

Ich nehme auch gerne einen Link zu einer Anleitung, aber bitte nicht "Wie funktioniert Mastodon". Das finde ich in der Google Suche in Hülle und Fülle. Mich interessiert nur diese konkrete Frage.
