Helft mir mal bitte. Sehe ich das richtig dass ich Direktnachrichten nur über den Browser und nur an Leute in meiner Instanz schicken kann? Wenn ich wem anders was schicken will, soll ich mich in seiner Instanz anmelden und das geht ja nicht

Want to Delete Your Twitter DMs? Good Luck With That
People in Europe are making GDPR requests to have their private messages erased, but Elon’s team is ignoring them.

3/3 To navigate:

= ppl and tags you follow.
= your instance's chronological feed
= the firehose! chronological feed of the whole damn 'verse (Mastodon, that is)

are NOT . They show up in your Home feed, and look just like Mentions. It's very easy to (accidentally) reply publicly, to a DM that is visible only to you.

There is no algorithm. here is not the same as on You have at least 500 chars per post.

DIRECT MESSAGING

DMs on Mastodon work differently than on other platforms.

Graham Cluley, a well-respected British security blogger with a sharp sense of humor (and host of the Smashing Security podcast) has this to say:

“Imagine you are having a direct message conversation with someone on Mastodon about a sensitive subject.

Maybe George and Paul are bantering via direct message on Mastodon, and one of them says “I’ll tell you who’s a twit. That bloody @Ringo”

Well, because @Ringo has been mentioned in the chat, he now sees a copy of the message too. Ouch, that’s awkward.

This would be particularly dangerous if you were communicating with another Mastodon user to report abusive behaviour. Suddenly your abuser knows you are complaining about them.

Email doesn’t work like that. Twitter direct messages don’t work like that.

(Sorry Ringo for using your name in this example, Peace and Love man!)”

grahamcluley.com/mastodon-what

Marcus Hutchins pointed out -- in his excellent overview “A Twitter User's Guide to Mastodon”:

“Something to also be wary of is similar to how Twitter staff can read your DMs, so can Mastodon instance staff. If you send a DM to someone on another instance, both the staff on the sending and receiving instance could read your message if they wanted to. Just like on any social media platform, I do not advise using DMs to share sensitive information. Use DMs for normal discussions, or exchanging contacts. Any sensitive information should be sent via an End-to-end encrypted messaging app like Signal, WhatsApp, Telegram, or Wire.”

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?

are weird on . Looking at an individual direct message itself gives no indication it's a . They look like regular replies under Posts on my account and even appear in my Home timeline along with everyone else's posts. Using DMs here produces a certain amount of anxiety that the message is actually going out to the entire world.

Am I missing something? Can DMs be distinguished visually somehow, if not siloed into their own non-post timeline?

One of the issues I'm having with is the rather clumsy way it handles . It's not particularly intuitive to send one and it can be difficult to recognise one when it appears in my timeline.

I don't think it would take much of a redesign to make it more usable, the core functionality all seems pretty good as is.

Is there an ironclad way to distinguish between replies and direct messages here? My wife and I like to share stuff frequently, but we don’t necessarily want all of that to be publicly visible. Also, our accounts are on different instances.
